Harvard advanced to its first NCAA Tournament bid ever, traveling to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt, the same team against which Kelly had ruined her knee...
...major studio slated for the award. Despite the heavy PR that heralded the film's release, "Evita," a rework of Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber's stage hit, failed to make the grade for best picture. Madonna, who starred as the flashy Eva Peron, also came up short in her bid for a best actress nomination -- echoing criticism that her performance was nothing more than a feature-length rock video.

In September 1987, she sued for control of a California atheist organization called Truth Seeker. (The bid failed.) Truth Seeker's furious owner countersued American Atheists under a federal racketeering law. The dispute eventually ate up more than $500,000 in legal fees; at one point Madalyn was so sure of losing that she told an employee not to be surprised if he came to work...
