Indeed, Smith sees its older students as such a positive asset that it is constantly enlarging the program: it began with just 16 women and this academic year has an enrollment of 161. Of the 82 potential Adas who applied to Smith this year, only 61 were accepted, and 46 are currently enrolled. Entry to the program is based on previous academic performance, an autobiographical essay and letters of recommendation...
...Wall Street analysts can have a narcotic effect. Asked to explain his formula for success, he admits that "it isn't my charisma." AT&T insiders say he hides his emotions and signals distress only by growing ominously silent. On balance, that stolid style has been an asset. Says Rawleigh Warner Jr., chairman of Mobil and an AT&T director: "He's equitable, and he doesn't lose his cool. There are no highs or lows, just steadiness." Brown, who lives in Princeton, N.J., with his second wife, Ann Lee, works off much of his tension...

The local production surpasses the Hollywood version which had trouble trying to enlarge the scope of the action. The only slight drawback is that because dead people tend to lie on the floor, people sitting in the back sometimes have trouble seeing what they are doing...
Theroux cheers up briefly in Wales, possibly because the Welsh language, which he does not understand, makes what is dreary seem exotic. (No doubt travel writers should stick to countries whose languages elude them: bad German, for instance, is an asset in Zurich; you can have a comical adventure asking for a train ticket to Senf, which means mustard, instead of Genf, which is Geneva.) Following the coast turned out to be a mistake, because its towns were filled with a seedier lot of tourists than Theroux would have met in castles and cathedrals...
...their own assaults on the Cup. The boys down Mass. Ave. with thick glasses are probably already working on their own secret keel and we at Harvard should take up the challenge. Those obnoxious people across the hall who summer on The Vineyard could be our greatest asset. Wouldn't it be great to drink champagne out of the hallowed Cup the way hockey players do with their ritual chalice...
