...Garrity pass with five minutes left in the third quarter, but Acheson fumbled it away on the next play. Rocky Delgadillo came up with his weekly interception not long after, but a Cuccia-to-Callinan pitch three plays later was recovered by William and Mary's Owen Costello...
...some somber, intricate, personal Anglo-Jamaican Salsa, all highly listenable, never dull. You can't listen passively--they shake a finger at you and say "Get a job!" or ask you "Dying to become a man? Well, I am your flag!". They mix the deadly earnestness of Elvis Costello with the singalong fun of the Beach Boys. It doesn't matter if you "hate new wave," or you "hate reggae"; you'll like this. No one can make warnings of Armageddon or attacks on commercialism ("Freedom's just a new deoderant"; "They're all out to get you") so enjoyable...
Despite its 1980's setting, its language and occasional nudity, Stripes is, more than anything else, an old-fashioned service comedy in the tradition of Abbott and Costello's Buck Privates (1941) or Andy Griffith's No Time for Sergeants (1958).

Yet somewhere underneath all this lies great rock and roll that many people should be dancing...
...considerable part of what business schools teach is not directly connected to the techniques of business at all. "The most important thing was simply being exposed to the state of the art-plus gaining confidence," says Cathleen Costello, 28, who got her M.B.A. from Columbia in 1979 and now works as a marketing manager at American Express. "M.B.A. schools don't necessarily teach you anything you can use," agrees Marcia Berss, 29, who graduated from Chicago last June to a job at more than $30,000 with the investment firm of A.G. Becker. "It's just that companies...
