...dictionary's compilers held sway in an earlier time, Arthur Miller's play could have been called Death of a Sales Representative, and that wellknown refugee from Kypton might have been named Superperson...
...towering Fred Gwynne '51 departs from the usual Falstaffian Sir Toby, and gives full rein to his wellknown comedic talents, whether goosing Maria, hiccuping or extracting hidden booze from unexpected places.

He left Biafra at the end of July, after his mother died in the United States and his close call made him suspicious...
