...Spiro bounced back quickly. That fall he enrolled at the University of New Orleans (formerly Louisiana State University at New Orleans) as a transfer student from Tulane, with an allegedly false transcript. Equipped with a new name, Jason Scott Cord, he completed a very successful stint at UNO. And then it was off to Cambridge again for Round II--this time with Uncle Sam guaranteeing repayment of Harvard's loans...
...fall of 1975, Monette made the transition from Business School wife to Business School student, entering under the name Cary Monica Cabot. Her formidable transcripts, like her husband's, came from UNO, which, according to UNO registrar K. Lance Woodliff, "she attended for a brief time but left without receiving any credit." In the Business School yearbook, however, Monette put Boston as her home town, and Radcliffe and a non-existent Spanish University as her alma maters...

And the moviemakers were pointing him indiscriminately, punching out everyone in sight, preferably for no apparent reason.

The Shadow Catcher, at the Welles, sounds real interesting. About Edward S. Curtis and the Native Americans he photographed and filmed at the beginning of this century. With narration by Donald Sutherland...
...Godfather. Defying P.T. Barnum and William Peter Blatty and evil conspirators of all kinds, The Godfather is still numero uno--it's still the most-seen movie ever made. It is also, strangely, one of the most worthy, which practically sets the amber waves of grain back swaying in that great and oft-frozen historical Sky-Movie of the American taste buds. A picture this good being this popular is about as probable as David Eisenhower chanting Maoist slogans from the bleachers, so be patriotic and see it again. A dollar twenty-five is also very patriotic. Not to mention...
