Cuccia was not bragging; simply stating a fact. In addition to holding eight national prep records, being named to several all-star teams and receiving a state MVP award, the 5' 9" freshman quarterback also has a closet's worth of clippings...
Girl Friends, directed and produced by Claudia Weill '68, is a small movie. It's not that nothing happens, but when it's all over, you wonder if it was worth the trip. What you see on the screen is hardly more engaging than watching your neighbors. A lot of water passes under the bridge, but somehow it never reaches the other side.

But the value of The "Poetry" Anthology does not rest on its Parnassian heights. Flipping through...
...true. Brooke looked vulnerable, Guzzi and Alioto seemed to have the best shot. And Tsongas was not only unknown, he was unpronouncable. But he was also smart, creative, had a good staff, and about $400,000 worth of power behind him. He went on television early and used a self-effacing ad that began with a series of ordinary citizens mispronouncing his name--a touch of humor that spelled the beginning of the end for Guzzi...
