Brown co-captain Ben Brewster is the biggest scoring threat for the Bruins. Brewster leads the Ivy League in scoring with eight points, four goals and four assists. Ssebazza Herman and Dave Herman, who rank fifth in the scoring standings, are two other stars of the Bruin offense...
Among those he has picked, Jerry Herman, the composer-lyricist has the best credentials for success (Hello, Dolly and Mame). Still, this time he is out of his element. Chaillot, even as embodied in this musical, is not the completely frivolous comedy Herman has worked with in the past. Although essentially telling us the story of a comic woman who refuses to accept the fact that the modern world is a different place than it was in 1903, Giraudoux has more than frivolity in mind. Below the surface of his comedy is the serious warning that the snowballing forces...
...HERMAN has another difficulty; his memory is too good. What he remembers working in his earlier hits, he feels can also work in Dear World.

The first act of Hello, Dolly ends with the title character leading a march that bristles with her optimism for the future. The first act of this new show closes with its heroine...
...With Herman's inability to cope with the property in his music, the duty falls to the authors of the book, Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee.

This is particularly unfortunate in the case of the villains, who are such vague...
Even if they do not base their day-to-day investing decisions on the magazine, moneymen find its articles hard to put down. Some months ago, Herman Kahn and Anthony J. Wiener of the Hudson Institute think tank both predicted more than 100 technological breakthroughs that might win chips for investors in the year 2000. On their list: genetic control of heredity, creation of artificial life, extrasensory perception, human hibernation. Says Goodman: "This isn't just a trade magazine. People read it be cause...
