...happens, the old argument about how much Washington knew of the Japanese attack plans in advance is opening up again. British Author John Costello, in his just published The Pacific War (Rawson, Wade; $24), contends that the U.S. and Britain had agreed in November to join forces in case of a Japanese attack-although the offensive was expected in the Philippines or Malaya. In Infamy, to be published by Doubleday next March, Historian John Toland argues that Washington for decades covered up its failure to warn Pearl Harbor of the imminent danger...
...talking about the one that got away, Bobby Carpenter, but even without the St. John's Prep star, who signed with the NHL's Washington Capitals after a summer of deliberation, the Friars had the East's best recruiting year. At the top of the list are Rich Costello and Timmy Army, a pair of forwards that will team points) and Kurt Kleinendorst up front Scot Kleinendorst and Jon Hogberg on the blueline to form the nucleus of this year's defending champions.

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). In fact, Stripes could have been edited down to suit any 1940's or 1950's audiences with very little effort.
