...serious depending on whom you consult. Inside reports from Hanover have star fullback Curt Oberg on the questionable starter list, having suffered a mild shoulder separation in last week's game with Yale. Responding to the reports, Restic harkens back to 1974 when a supposedly injured Tom Fleming ran wild at the Stadium in Dartmouth's 24-18 victory...
...Cody-fy the world!," Joel Grey promises in Buffalo Bill and the Indians, Robert Altman's parable for the Old West that tells us how a handful of big-mouth lily-livers made up their own myths as they went along.

The Tavern's first-night gala was more like an operetta than a restaurant opening, with five bands, fiddlers and jugglers introducing each of nine courses, and a wild array of plumage on all the Beautiful People that was a direct result of their host's request that they wear "garden formal." What is garden formal? LeRoy answered his question by wearing a gold-spangled suit with spangled blue-gold rep tie and rhinestone-studded glasses that made him resemble a well-padded Elton John...
