...their works uniformly. What may be true of Iolanthe is not true of Yeomen, what may be true of Trial by Jury is not necessarily true of the Sorcerer. The determination to run through the G & S repertoire over and over agiin, the way Channel 56 runs through Basil Rathbone's 11 Sherlock Holmes films, may not be entirely justified. Perhaps G & S companies should drop the clunkers from their repertoire, and substitute other light opera for them, as Harvard G & S repertoire is beginning to show its age, and might well be allowed to die a graceful death...
...early-form charts on this election would have placed Basil Quirk, 48, an Irish Catholic longshoreman from South Boston, in the camp of Edmund Muskie, the Polish Catholic from Maine. Or perhaps Hubert Humphrey, who dotes on organized labor. Maybe even George Wallace, the sometime Horatio of the hardhats. Those charts have been proved wrong a number of times.

The organization raised $870 million for treatment and research and sponsored the development of vaccines by Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin. Though he also served as president...
...they admire Steve McQueen's resilient cool. Authors Puzo and Talese are esteemed for their portraits of Mafiosi as "men of respect" (although Mafiosi feel that Talese, especially, was taken in by his sources). The alltime Mafia favorite, however, is the movie The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). Basil Rathbone, who plays the villainous Sir Guy Gisbourne, is hissed at every appearance. He is the totally corrupt and power-hungry official that Mafiosi feel they know so well. Between Errol Flynn, as Robin, and the cheering Mafia audience there exists, as they might see it, a kind of spiritual...
