...verbal intricacies that are his trademark fall prey to melodic ineptitude. Syllables lost in an overly complicated soprano line and choral numbers that have the gentility of a shouting match leave us frustrated. Though nearly always glittering, certain lyrics seem gratuitous as Hugh Wheeler's book parcels out plot in neat bits of dialogue. With such a story-laden vehicle, tangential songs become tiresome; we yearn for songs with more plot in them. Sondheim and Wheeler sensed this tendency for Sweeney to drag and judiciously chopped out half of an appallingly dull number in moving the show from New York...
...surprising 3-2 second-period lead over the Big Red (now 7-3-0, 3-3 ECAC Division One). Then--after a damaging ten-minute misconduct to defenseman Neil Sheehy, who went off along with Cornell's Doug Berk at 13:55 of the period for "intimidation" after a verbal tussle--the bottom fell out of the Harvard hockey team...

One charge is that he passed along inside information to a Japanese businessman with the aim of developing lucrative contracts for himself. He received some $60,000 from fugitive Financier Robert Vesco as a "verbal consultant." Allen also introduced Vesco's attorney to William Casey, then Securities and Exchange Commission chairman, at a time when Vesco was under investigation by that agency. Allen claims, not too persuasively, that he was unaware of the probe when he was working for Vesco. Most serious...
