Rookie Craig Adams earned Colgate/ECAC Rookie of the Week honors en route to the dominating victory over the division rival Bears. Adams scored two goals in his debut for the Crimson, complimenting Craig MacDonald's two assist, one goal effort...
...true that Buchanan has always been a flamethrower, but even he was not quite as incendiary in his 1992 debut campaign. That race was not freighted with nearly as much symbolic villainy. For Bill Clinton, it was "change" vs. the "status quo." George Bush bashed liberals but mainly defended his accomplishments, among them steering the cold war to an end. As for Buchanan, a large (and not well remembered) part of his cultural-war diatribe at the convention was a paean to Bush in which he praised the President for his expertise in foreign affairs, something he would never...

But he had been so prominent, funny and nettlesome for so long--nearly a half-century--that his passing inspires valedictory thoughts that go beyond the stilling of a single voice. If literary histories continue to be written--a point by no means certain--and written with a focus on aesthetics rather than politics--ditto--the British decades between 1955 and 1995 should in fairness...
