...sound unenthused? Probably because I am. Reading period stretches out before me like a barren field on a bleak winter's day. This would be fine were it really winter, of course. Then the weather would match our mood. However, reading period during spring semester seems especially hard to bear. Birds sing, flowers bloom. And we study...
Gregarious and invariably rumpled, Deutch, 57, appears capable of literally getting his arms around any problem. A bear of a man, 6 ft. 3 in. tall, he dominates almost any room he walks into, wrapping his thick arm around a shoulder to cajole or bully a colleague into giving him what he wants.

Who cares if some critics, after seeing a white band with a black singer out front, conclude that somebody somewhere must be selling someone out? What does it matter if some people take the band's collegiate, party-hearty Southern past to mean that its music must have as much intrinsic worth as a Confederate bank note? Every time Rucker opens his mouth and his booming baritone roars out, strong, sure...
