...appropriate that LESLEY VISSER should end up on a show that goes head to head with Ally McBeal. She's the Anti-Ally--frank, confident, sporty, not awash with self-doubt. She's the first woman to be admitted into what is generally considered Y-chromosome ground zero: Monday Night Football. Not bad for a reporter who once had a footballer sign her notebook, assuming she was a fan. And who was told she got her first TV gig because she had the experience and was "cosmetically correct."

Groundspeople were hard at work last week with fire hoses blasting away the masking tape that had glued old posters to the pavement outside the Science Center, and Dean of Students Archie C. Epps III was spotted personally removing posters from various "illegal" posting sites...
...About Nothing," all awash in a swirl of percussion and spot-on "galactic surf guitar," mines the same glam vein, but with a new wave twist. Unlike the first track, it's got an actual melody, and the track itself wouldn't sound out of place on a Porno for Pyros CD. Given Weiland's voracious propensity for aping other musical artists, it then comes as no surprise that Porno for Pyros bassist Martyn LeNoble plays bass on most of the tracks, including this...
