...would call TIME's pick a colossal cop-out. It's the ultimate in egocentrism to think we are all the Person of the Year. I am a student; my mother is a teacher; my father is a small-business owner; a friend is a lawyer; my brother is a doctor. We are not even candidates to be the Person of the Year. The pool of choices should be limited to Presidents, generals, Prime Ministers and Popes. Names like Roosevelt, Truman, Elizabeth II, Hitler, Stalin and John Paul II should be succeeded by other similarly important and influential ones...

Remember, too, the prissy fury that Shrevie, the obsessive rock-LP collector in Diner, summons when he realizes the extent of his bride?s musical ignorance - ?How could you file my James Brown record under J?? Right now, Soul Brother No. 1 is being impersonated by Eddie...
...were a I-A athlete, I’d be insulted, too. With I-A/AA classifications, there was never a question as to who would be picked first on the proverbial playground that is college sports. Now, people will surely be confused, and as anyone with a brother or sister can tell you, nobody likes to be confused with their (admittedly less good) sibling.Fans rioted at UMass after their team lost in the championship game, and rightly so.
