...were rested and strong for Harvard, but I was surprised that their best sprinter couldn't beat our weakest," Sarakatsannis said...
...plenty of wisecracking humor and suspense in this tale of two hapless Marines (ably played by Victor Love and Michael Dolan) who accidentally kill a squad mate while disciplining him, then find that the officers who ordered the discipline are lying to protect their own careers.

Lyrics are saccharine, repetitious and occasionally grating. Few of the songs are distinguished by musical or lyrical ingenuity...
