...Crimson's junior quarterback, still has a question mark emblazoned over his jesey number. Last year, he played spectacularly--compiling over 100 yards both rushing and passing against Dartmouth. And he played poorly--in the Princeton game, he fumbled on the third play from scrimmage, setting a bleak tone for the contest...
...resentment of the police. "They are just grabbing for straws," a 27-year-old unemployed mechanic said last week as he stood talking with a couple of friends on a downtown street corner. "When they come up to you, they almost make you feel guilty." In an equally disdainful tone, a 23-year-old in the uniform of Pittsburgh's Institute of Security and Technology added, "When there's trouble out there, the cops aren't ever around."

...thorny Moses, an unfinished twelve-tone opera freely adapted from Exodus, turned out to be a sensation. It begins with a powerful interpolated silent prologue.

He counts Princess Caroline of Monaco and Nancy Reagan among his clients, and predictably encourages his customers to drop the hemlines of his miniskirts when they come for fittings. Says he: "I can't see Caroline having to struggle...
...clock, a good 30 hours before The Crimson went to the presses Thursday night. Mr. Nordhaus's article is loaded with errors. He repeats Ms. van Wingerden's reference to "funny noises" coming from the engine, something which I have never said I heard. Nordhaus, in the same sensational tone of van Wingerden, writes in one instance that the bus "burst into flames" and in another that it "blew...
