...team co-captain Marc Chapus, who clicked into warp drive and came up with a new Harvard record of 48.5 seconds, the sprinters swept the event and left the Bruin contenders cleaning the cosmic dust out of their eyes. Sprinters Bennett Midlo and Kim Stevens arrived at the tape shortly after Chapus to claim the impressive times of 50.2 and 50.3 seconds, respectively...
...sleepy little hamlet of Monterey, Mass., tucked away in the Berkshire Hills, seemed to have fallen into a time warp. As the 760 winter residents of the resort community went about their business, no radio or television could be heard. At Millie Walsh's Mobil station on Route 23 just past the center of town, the electric clock had stopped and the giant soft-drink cooler was turned off.

This is not playful--it is stupid and self-defeating. There are worse problems, though, such as the indiscriminate use of the video in the second half, which gives the production an uninteresting, gimmicky feel. As a result of all this, the pace slows to a crawl, and the production becomes like a stubborn fish on the end of your line, beating...
