Chevrolet awards two player-of-the-game scholarships--one to an offensive performer and one to a defenseman--after each ABC telecast, and quarterback Don Allard took the offensive honors for his 112-yard rushing effort. Crusader linebacker Harry Flaherty, who came up with Holy Cross's second interception in the first quarter and delivered several key tackles, won the award for defense. Considering the way the Harvard defense performed, one can only assume that either Chevy likes to see the honors divided between the schools or that choosing an outstanding individual performer from the Crimson's defensive ranks...
...actress has gone to court to try to block production of a TV movie based on her life. "This docudrama technique has gotten out of hand," said Taylor in announcing the suit against ABC and the producers, David Paradine Television. "It is simply a fancy new name for old-fashioned invasion of privacy, defamation, and violation of an actor's rights." Taylor chose her fighting ground carefully by bringing her suit under a New York State statute that gives anyone the right to protect her name and image from unauthorized commercial exploitation. That 1903 law, the most far-reaching...
Kenneth Kulzick, a lawyer for ABC, argues: "She is a renowned public figure. From the time she was 13, she was not her own person. She is not her own commodity." That is probably true. Famous people do not own the exclusive rights to their lives, as Howard Hughes learned when he was unable to block unauthorized accounts of his life with lawsuits. But, says Allen Snyder, one of Taylor's lawyers, "this production invents incidents and manufactures dialogue." Claims Taylor: "It's completely fictionalized unless there was somebody under the carpet or under the bed during...
...sarcasm stops when the insurance man learns of a mysterious cult (the "Names" of the title). The ritual murders committed by these ragged, nomadic zealots are as easy as ABC. Their formula, revealed by Owen Brademas, an aged American anthropologist, is based on polyglot alphabets twisted into a system of worship. The killers simply match the initials of elderly or crippled villagers with those of towns. When the sacrificial names collide, their hammers fall. For Brademas, these deaths reveal a new layer of violence: "We thought we knew this setting. The mass killer in his furnished room, in his century...
...Worcester or their TV sets this afternoon, WHRB (95.3 FM) will begin broadcasting at 12:15. THE NOTEBOOK Holy Cross has played three other Ivy League teams this fall. The Crusaders trounced Dartmouth, 28-12, beat Yale, 10-6 and stopped Brown, 17-6...The NCAA contract with ABC requires the network to give Division 1-AA teams 13 appearances over a two-year period. An appearance is defined not as a game but a team, so for example, the Harvard Holy Cross game counts as two appearances. At least two of the division's 13 appearances must...
