...conducted at Harvard last May. One was for Trang Ho, a 20-year old Dunster resident murdered in her dorm room as she slept. The other was for Sinedu Tadesse, the perpetrator of the bizarre murder-suicide which claimed Ho's life. Those of you who left Cambridge soon afterward may not be aware that the bill for Tadesse's memorial service (in addition to Ho's) was footed by none other than Harvard University. Let's immediately dismiss the financial issue--the cost was peanuts to Harvard and nothing or practically nothing to any student. But the fact...
...ever since. When Cal Jr. was born, Cal Sr. was catching for Class B Fox Cities (Wisconsin) under manager Earl Weaver. (Weaver once claimed he knew even when Junior was a fetus that he was going to be a major leaguer.) An injury ended Senior's playing career soon afterward, so he embarked on a minor league managerial odyssey that took him to Leesburg, Florida; Appleton, Wisconsin; Kennewick-Richland-Pasco, Washington; Aberdeen, South Dakota; Elmira, New York; and Dallas.

Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione, meanwhile, took out a whiny full-page ad in the New York Times last week to convince the Unabomber that publication in Penthouse...
...height of his absolutist influence, Louis XIV ordered a quick, decisive and successful bombardment of Algiers for harboring pirates. Afterward, a medal commemorating the event was inscribed with the words, "Algeria Fulminata" [Algiers Struck by Lightning]. In much the same vein, President Reagan could announce our successful blitzkrieg on the unruly Quadaffi in Libya in April, 1987; at the time, the U.S. still enjoyed virtual Sun King status in the West...
