...Brick, lacks the brooding charisma of Paul Newman in the 1958 movie version, he provides a rare sight: a Brick who actually looks and talks like the ex-football player he is supposed to be. (Jones was an all-Ivy, all-East offensive guard at Harvard in the 1960s.) Kim Stanley (who played Maggie in the 1958 London production of Cat) makes Big Mama a more sympathetically human figure than one has a right to expect. Only Rip Torn, as Big Daddy, seems miscast. He has the bluster but not the bombast of the aging tycoon, and his Southern accent...
...protests that the judges were unduly dazzled by the prospect of the Americans' impending pro careers. When Super Heavyweight Tyrell Biggs won the gold medal with a 4-1 decision, his opponent, Italy's Francesco Damiani, gestured angrily in disgust. After South Korean Light Welterweight Dong-Kil Kim lost a 4-1 decision to Jerry Page, 23, in the quarterfinals, the South Koreans briefly threatened to pull out of the tournament. And when Heavyweight Henry Tillman's 3-2 loss to Italy's Angelo Musone was overturned by the jury that reviews all such decisions, even...
...tournament, the U.S. basketball women forced themselves into a habit of rising at 5:30. Pat Head Summitt, their quieter coach from Tennessee, complained drowsily, "I keep pouring coffee into my cereal." But the players, notably U.S.C.

...decade after the Great War, the playing fields of Eton and Westminster were trod by a generation of upper-class traitors to the Empire: Guy Burgess, Kim Philby and the rest. In the 1980s, these homegrown spies have stoked a boomlet of plays, TV shows and films. Julian Mitchell's 1981 play, Another Country, is set in a public school very much like Eton and features a 17-year-old, Guy Bennett, very much like the young Guy Burgess. Prinked up in Oscar Wilde frippery, gaily mocking the prefects' hypocritical rites of passage, standing defiantly outside this class...
Another dissident, South Korean Kim Dae Jung, also had a stint at Harvard, although only for the year. Kim, one of the leading opponents of the authoritarian rule in his homeland, spent the year at the Center for International Affairs, writing and lecturing. Another refugee from politics at Harvard this year was David R. Gergen, a former top Reagan Administration White House aide Gergen quit his post in Washington in December to take up a fellowship at Harvard's Institute of Politics in the spring semester...
