...college assigns him. His plights provide one of the first humorous counters to the counterculture, hinting that despite the seeming arrogance of today's undergraduates, campus life is still just a bowl of old-fashioned adolescent insecurities. Doonesbury's creator is Garry Trudeau, 22, a Manhattan blueblood (his mother is Fashion Leader Mrs. Harcourt Amory Jr.) who graduated from Yale last year. No Doonesbury himself, Trudeau is now confidently dashing off his cartoons in Colorado and plans to return to Yale next year to earn a Master of Fine Arts degree...
...husbands to take the children for an outing in honor of the day. Louise (Brenda Vaccaro) is an earthy exactress with a tongue like a wood file. Marian (Marian Seldes) is a gawky swan of a woman who can deliver lines with the edgily lethal politesse of a Boston blueblood.

There are only 27 courts in use today...

Adams (William Daniels) must be thin lipped, disdainful, fanatical, puritanical, rapier tongued, and cordially disliked for rubbing his lazy-brained colleagues the wrong way with his indefatigable insistence on freedom. The audience may color him blueblood and relish his thwarted Harvardian desire to correct Jefferson's English from "inalienable" to "unalienable." And how is Ben Franklin (Howard Da Silva) portrayed? Foxy good sense, a plaguy gout, a dash of smarmy lechery and a few jokes about electricity-that is all one needs for Franklin. And that...
