...when John Spagnola wrestled Pat O'Brien's wing-and-a-prayer aerial from the hands of Harvard's Fred Cordova, the very sou! of Crimson football winced at the mortal wound. Cordova dropped to the turf in a heap, unable to move under the weight of the crushing frustration...
Palmerton rolls up two more touchdowns, taking advantage of its average 25-lb. weight advantage on the line and a new razzle-dazzle shotgun formation. Palmerton's big fullback drags tacklers along like reluctant dance partners. Unable to earn a first down, the Bears are forced to punt again and again. Dr. Verbruggen shakes his head and looks grim. "See No. 24 there," he says. "He's going to hurt his hand. He's cold, and he's rubbing them between every play. That means he can't coordinate them well...
...half a point below the average of the increases they posted in 1976 and 1977. With Hershey, comparisons are tough because the size of its bars has changed. The company is now raising the price of its basic milk-chocolate bar from 20? to 25?, but also increasing the weight of each bar by 14%, so that the price increase on each launchable ounce is 9.3%.

At this point, quips Scott, "yeah, you were sipping a Tequila Sunrise at the beach when you got the call...
SAVAGES is a doughnut--there's plenty around the edges but not too much in the middle. Sometimes flimsy plots demand a suspension of belief too great for the audience to bear; in this case the leaden weight of an overdrawn script buries the dedicated acting jobs that try to save the show. Christopher Hampton's Savages, unfortunately, is more fundamentally flawed, for it founders when its focus--a Brazilian Indian tribe on the verge of extinction--obscures or perhaps just misses entirely all the other elements in this would-be "major statement." Socialism, repression, guilt and the excesses...
