Except Demosthenes Konstandies Andros-and the entire population (30,000) of Corvallis, Ore. A former Oklahoma guard, beefy "Dee" Andros, 43, is head coach of the Oregon State Beavers-if not the best team around, then certainly the most underrated. Five weeks ago, the Beavers scored a 22-14 victory over heavily favored (by 19 points) Purdue, then the No. 2-ranked team in the U.S. Three weeks ago, they battled to a 16-16 tie with the U.C.L.A. Bruins, who at that time held the No. 2 spot. Two weeks ago, by a score of 3-0, they knocked...
Aggressiveness is the key to winning, according to Dee Andros-and he has no shortage of it himself. He wears orange and black shoes (O.S.U. colors, naturally), leads his team's banzai charge onto the playing field, and growls: "I don't think it hurts to smile on Fridays-but on Saturdays, my kids don't even open their mouths."

Once upon a time we had Ruby and the Romantics, the Teddy Bears, Joey Dee and the Starlighters. Now the nouns and adjectives fight, putting each oher on, putting us on. The 13th Floor Elevator, the Strawberry Alarm Clock, Progressive Myopia. We like...
Died. Robert Hans van Gulik, 57, Dutch creator of the Judge Dee Chinese mystery tales (The Willow Pattern, Murder in Canton); of cancer; in The Hague. An Orientalist by training and an ambassador by trade (to Japan, Malaysia), van Gulik was studying ancient Asian prose when he found the classic magistrate-detectives of Chinese literature. Supplying Occidental motives but preserving the delicate puzzle plots of the 7th century Tang dynasty, he pitted his wise and wily Dee against tyrants, palace power-seekers and assorted hatchetmen in 17 thrillers...
