...were weaned on Jubilee Weekend. For many, it was our first great experience as freshmen, certainly the climax of our first year at Harvard. The romantic boat ride we shall especially remember. Huddled together against the cold off Cape Cod, we imbibed refreshing spirits; there was good cheer in the air. When it was over, spent and exhausted, we would see our dates back to their hotel rooms and fall fast asleep full of the night...
...stock prices have meandered near the bottom of their winter trough, Wall Street has for weeks yearned for a reason to cheer. Without the war, most investors see a resumption of unstrained economic growth, with lower taxes and interest rates, less wage and price inflation, a smaller federal deficit and diminishing pressure from the balance of payments deficit...
Angry Mobs. National guardsmen also surrounded the legislative palace, which Delvalle had announced he would use as a temporary office. When Delvalle arrived to take occupancy, a mob of supporters gathered to cheer him on. "I am the constitutional President and you should obey me," Delvalle told the officer in charge.

Tyson is at work on his latest and worst film-a tale of New York suitably titled Bronek's Cheer-when he suddenly begins getting threatening messages and attempts are made on his life. Suspense survives for a time amid the farce, then separates like fragments from a grenade. What Condon fans will enjoy are his extravagant prose arias, including the account of a typical McCobb breakfast. For rhapsodic and inventive list making* it is unequaled by anything since the Glass family's medicine cabinet in Franny and Zooey...
