...married, with few qualms and one small condition: that his fiancee pass the world's toughest football quiz. Boogie (Mickey Rourke) will never be married: he has too much fun playing the sensitive stud and limping through life with one foot in the underworld. Fenwick (Kevin Bacon) is beyond marriage: proto-hip and self-destructive, he seems to be waiting for the '60s to explode around him. Billy (Timothy Daly) wants to get married-but his pregnant girlfriend is more intent on a career in television. It may take Billy the better part of two decades to catch...
...Navy falters Cornell should be there to fill the void. The Big Red lost only two players (Greg Allen and Bill Bacon) from last year's third-place team to graduation, and began the 1982 season with an impressive 4-3 California trip before returning to the snowy Northeast...
...MOST WINNING PART of this winning picture is the deeply felt characters that writer and director Barry Levinson has sketched out. Most complex, perhaps, is Fenwick (Kevin Bacon), whom we first see punching out window panes at a dance because on a whim he has just sold for five dollars the girl he brought.

All this happens on a bookshelf continually-while you are out walking the dog, or pouting or asleep. The Punic Wars rage; Emma Bovary pines; Bacon exhorts others to behave the way he never could. Here French is spoken. There Freud. So go war and peace, pride and prejudice, decline and fall, perpetually in motions as sweeping as Milton's or as slight as Emily Dickinson considering the grass. Every evening Gatsby looks at Daisy...
...four pennies, about the worth of a lamb. By the 17th century, however, the devil, unwelcome and omnipresent, had been doing his worst through the feline. In 1699, for instance, at the Swedish town of Mora, 300 children were accused of employing demon cats to steal butter, cheese and bacon. Fifteen of the children were killed, and every Sunday for a year, 36 were whipped before the church doors. By the mid-18th century, the cat was back in favor. Frederick the Great thought so highly of cats he made them official guards of his army's stores...
