...Thus, tailgates continued into the third and fourth quarter, drinking games were played, and giddy young adults gyrated atop U-Hauls in tune with blaring pop and hip-hop. Apparently, and this is no doubt news to Captain Evans, tailgating safety can be ramped up without quashing beer-fueled merriment. It should also be noted that, unlike at Harvard, kegs were allowed at this year’s tailgate at Yale. We have long argued that Harvard’s keg ban, instituted in 2000 by then-Dean of the College Harry R.

...Bedtime for Bonzo, a parable of cross-species adoption (Reagan and Diana Lynn try raising a chimp as a human child) in which the star spent much of his time with an animal perched in his lap or on his head. Though it gave his detractors much excuse for merriment, Reagan proclaimed himself proud of the film...
