...small player in world affairs could, through determination and planning, change the way others saw it. Now rugby - long pigeonholed as an élitist sport played and supported by the alumni of exclusive schools - looks set to claim conclusively a prize it only recently resolved to pursue: mass appeal. "The world's about to see how big rugby's become," says Nick Farr-Jones, captain of Australia's 1991 World Cup-winning Wallabies. "It's crossed boundaries. It's become an inclusive game." In no small way, the World Cup has fueled that transformation. First held...

Hopefully these two series will provide the beginning a greater selection of kid's comics. "Kids, as we know, are ambi-tasterous," Spiegelman says. "They'll like...

...movie was quite accurate. Woody Harrelson plays me better than I could play myself. But any time Hollywood is making a big budget film, obviously they’re going to concentrate on the most outrageous, bizarre aspects of your life for promotional appeal. As far as Roman Polanski goes, Roman is probably one of the most talented, prolific directors today. I’m not trying to justify his sex with a minor. I know a lot of people thought he shouldn’t be given the award, but if the movie was the best, then...

Bathroom tiles will likely glisten more brightly if the task of maintaining student bathrooms’ lemony freshness is turned over to a private contractor, but the costs are far greater than the returns. The diminishing appeal of this wholesome work opportunity is a testament to Dorm Crew’s failure to satisfactorily raise wages. Eliminating that opportunity and transferring the man-hours to outside workers may seem to be an attractive solution, but it needlessly enriches the middle-man. Money that could go to students that ends up going down the drain...
