...side, Harvard took just five of ten events total. Just like with the men, the field events were the Crimson’s strong suit. Junior Maureen Boyle led a sweep in the weight throw with her 15.10 meter toss. Senior Clara Blattler earned a victory in the pole vault by clearing the 3.65 meter mark. —THE CRIMSON STAFF
...meatiest role, and the meat was deliciously rancid, was opposite Jose Ferrer in The Shrike, where she's the harridan who nearly drives her husband to suicide. Her performance was both stark and nicely judged - "good (and nasty)," Thomson says, approvingly - but it didn't vault Allyson into the realm of Serious Actress. It didn't set her on a new, thornier path, paving the way for her to play roles suitable for the decades to come, when the Wife role would be replaced by the Woman With a Past. Casting directors thought only of Allyson's past...
...coach said she was "just a little girl," but on July 23, 1996, at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, 4-ft. 9-in. gymnast Kerri Strug became a big hero. Despite a sprained ankle, she launched into one last vault and stuck her landing to win the U.S. women's gymnastics squad its first-ever team Olympic gold.

The coffin was filled with ancient embalming materials, strips of linen and funerary garlands and collars made of dried flowers. That, says lead excavator Otto Schaden of the University of Memphis, means KV63 may have been a storage cache, as another tomb proved to be. That's important for history...
...Geisel - a Seuss-ophone. For "Help!", four extreme athletes zoom up and over two U-shaped slides. Harrison's gorgeous "Here Comes the Sun" (which never sounded better) is accompanied by four women performing aerial yoga. In "Revolution," there's a last exuberance before everything starts to crumble: acrobats vault onto and over an English phone booth (with the aid of trampolines). It recalls the best routine in La Nouba and is pretty fabulous...
