...though, the more I wonder. The NCAA needs to do something now, before even its pretense of amateurism fades. Sure, the ruling body just hit USC with a two-year TV ban for its indiscretions, but will that be any more effective than the one-year disqualification from bowl appearances imposed on the Trojans...
There are two documentary images of the Great Plains. The first is a black-and-white photograph of the '30s Dust Bowl, with windblown homesteaders treading the cracked earth. The second: a glossy color shot of the same land 40 years later, showing the lush checkerboard farms of America's breadbasket.

The way Jamie Hanes, as Woyzeck, stares defeatedly at a surrealistically huge bowl of peas, munches some, then bows his head in acceptance and dread, carries its power with it; marooned in cellophone wastes with his huge silhouette thrown on a scrim, Hanes need not operate otherwise in recognizable patterns. Kim Burrough as Marie, in some ways a more pivotal persons than Woyzeck, forges...
