...Harvard Stadium. The Answer. Just think of it. Forty thousand in the stands, 20,000 on the field, and those without tickets could picnic on Soldiers Field outside and still hear the music. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the rest (assuming they don't have stomach flu, shoulder cramps, or whatever) could bash out "Sympathy for the Devil" from a stage adjacent to the big Crimson "H." For Harvard the advantages are obvious: a new image of hipness, relevance and public service of the highest order, and, one suspects, a lucrative financial reward...
...help at all. The father began taking mock bites at the newborn calf, and had to be put in a separate pen. The mother showed no desire to feed her firstborn.

It squirts through the Bering Strait and after two weeks reaches the most perilous leg of the 3,200-mile journey: the 270-mile trip from Wainwright on the western flanks of northern Alaska to Prudhoe Bay.

The American college student who is hacked to death by one of the beasts is thereafter seen wandering around in various states of stomach-churning decomposition. But his companion, who survives the attack, has it just as bad. Every time there is a full moon, he becomes a werewolf himself, his hands turning into claws and his teeth into fangs. All this seems to happen on-camera without a second's fadeout...
...stomach some of the silly shenanigans in this show, the playgoer should be prepared to do the same. Though Furth licks the platter clean with happy endings, he somewhat blurs his main point...
