...course may help the Crimson, especially Seals, more than it will other teams. It is relatively flat-unlike Van Cortland Park, with only one hill, which the runners must climb twice during the race. It is six miles instead of the usual five...
...next play, Crone faked beautifully to Miller up the middle, and flipped a swing pass to DeMars, who was all alone in the flat. DeMars walked into the end zone, and Harvard led, 7-0, after Richie Szaro booted the extra point with about ten and a half minutes to go in the half...

In three minutes of film, the flat dispassionate eye of the movie camera can disclose more about the kind of reality that appalls Guston than his whole exhibition has done. We are left with a group of sumptuously painted canvases, sometimes witty, occasionally moving, and for the most part caricaturally blunt. As political statement, they...
