...dynamic duo of Perry and Campbell, who are almost single-handedly responsible for a Brown offense that averages 36-points a game, will put the pressure on senior quarterback Brad Wilford and the rest of the Harvard offense to have a big game...
Hitchcock's career began in the late '70s with the Soft Boys, who broke up in 1980. He spent the '80s and early '90s with the Egyptians, steadily building a huge underground of connisseur-grade fans who came to shows as much for his surreal, almost Dadaist rants between songs as for the music. In May of 1996 he played a 30th anniversary remake of Bob Dylan's seminal Royal Albert Hall concert in a pub near the famed original venue, and later in the year he released a solo album dubbed Moss Elixir.

Budnitz tries to be too profound in her simplification, taking on too large a human theme within too small of a context...
...very bad roommate experience my second year. I think the likely result of this policy will be that students will leave or develop alternative living arrangements that allow them to relieve their discomfort. In fact, I suspect that if the issue were researched, it would be found that in almost every situation where there was discomfort and a change request was denied, some arrangement of this sort occurred. You can't force people to live together...
