Although she did quite well, Rogers was ostracized by her teammates for her outspoken emphasis on team spirit and unity instead of personal victory. After four years of increasingly poor times, resulting from repeated disappointments and disillusionments, Rogers came to Harvard intending never to run competitively again...
...their characters' problems and activities; the production beams in and out sporadically, its atoms lost in the Enterprise's transporter room, somewhere between a production and the scenes most likely taking place simultaneously in the rooms in Kirkland directly above the Junior Common Room, those of actual students. Instead of aiding the success of the show by bringing an extra dimension of realism to it, this aspect detracts from the show for the same reason Cybil Shepherd flopped on the screen: she could never play anything but herself in her films, and so her characters did not benefit from...
ANTHONY NEWLEY and Leslie Bricusse must have thought themselves quite ambitious. They wanted to create a clever, innovative show that would transcend the limitations of conventional musical comedy--a show that would say something.

But sugar in that country is now winding up as an important source of automotive fuel instead of as a sweetener on dinner tables. Brazil has embarked on a crash program to manufacture ethyl-alcohol automobile fuel from sugar cane. And last month, when the Persian Gulf war halted oil shipments from Iraq, which supplies 50% of Brazil's petroleum imports, the government slapped an emergency ban on all new sugar export contracts. The action...
