December 6, 1987: Same time, next year. In 1986, the men's soccer team advanced to the NCAA Final Four, only to fall to Duke. In 1987, the Crimson advances to the Final Four and falls in a shoot-out. San Diego State knocks in one more penalty kick than the Crimson and goes to the Final Two with a 2-1 victory...
...Massachusetts misstep is certain to be magnified by the G.O.P. Already, Bush Spokesman Peter Teeley dubs the Duke's record "one of the greatest con jobs in American politics." But despite overheated G.O.P. rhetoric, Dukakis' budget woes are not insoluble and the state remains prosperous.

With his jazz background, he calls up visions of the Third Stream, that brief confluence of jazz and classical music long thought dried up. In works like Black, Brown and Beige, Duke Ellington bravely but cautiously ventured across the border that separates the big band from the orchestra; playing with the Modern Jazz Quartet, Pianist John Lewis pushed out the frontiers of his art while still remaining within its bounds. Now Davis, the New Jersey-born, Yale- educated son of a college professor, has gone a step...
