...Foreman keeps mowing them down. At Pride Pavillion in Phoenix last month, Slab-of-Meat No. 18, a cruiserweight named Bert Cooper, was served up. A Joe Frazier protege, Cooper was billed as one of Foreman's toughest challenges yet. Midway in the first round, the ex-champ caught him with a right to the middle that pirouetted Cooper 90 degrees.

The visiting artist at Cabot House, Snow has created Gargoyles to perch on top of the Georgian style dormitories. A dormer-window inspired sculpture, Gargoyles will sit more than 40 feet above the Quad and will respond to variances in the wind. A troika of forms made of steel, wood and nylon, the project will be illuminated at night and filled with natural light by day. Gargoyles addresses more vantage points than last year's picnic tables/artwork...
