...likes old times-the screwball comedy of the 1930s, to be precise-enough to revive the tradition, or at least prop up the corpse. In Seems Like Old Times (S.L.O.T. for short), he has updated Leo McCarey's delicious romantic farce The Awful Truth, this time with Chevy Chase in the Cary Grant role, Goldie Hawn as Irene Dunne and Charles Grodin as Ralph Bellamy. If the new cast spells magic to you, rush to S.L.O.T. You'll see Chevy stumble down an entire hillside and get his nose bobbed by a series of vengeful swinging doors...

Armed with a list of oil ministers' addresses, a letter of credit from Chase Manhattan, very little capital and the Kennedy name, Kennedy and a few friends sent their proposal to the oil producing countries. Most of the ministries did not respond; a few were curious; and then Venezuela said yes. Less than a year later, 8.4 million gallons of CEC-imported heating oil entered Boston harbor...
After a brief surge at the start of the second half which brought Harvard to within two, it became a cat-and-mouse chase game, with New Hampshire always that elusive step ahead...
