...things started out, the Crimson's slugging clinic was necessary. B.C. jumped to a 4-0 lead in the blink of an eye when Harvard starter Rob Alevizos lost his concentration in the second inning, walking three straight batters before serving up a juicy outside fastball to weak-hitting second baseman Chuck Mitchell. Mitchell launched an arching parabola to deep right field that a sympathetic gust of wind carried over the fence for a home run and an instant four-run lead...
...Keaton. Talking about her always cheers him up: "She has no compunction about playing a lovable and gangly hick in Annie Hall and then very neurotic and disturbed women in Interiors and Manhattan. That's the mark of an actress and not a movie star. Keaton also has the eye of a genius, as you can see in her photos, collages, silk screens and wardrobe. She can dress in a thousand more creative ways than she did in Annie Hall. When I first met her, she'd combine unbelievable stuffat boots, some chic thing from Ralph Lauren." Though Allen...
David Halberstam, 45, first won notice in 1964 as a Pulitzer-prizewinning reporter for the New York Times, then eased out of daily deadlines toward the writing of books, including the bestselling The Best and the Brightest (1972).

But he listens very selectively, and at times relentlessly forces...
...rare Republican "ethnic" in the mid-'50s, Sirica caught the eye of such powerful politicians as Leonard Hall and William Rogers. They cleared the way for him to become a federal district judge in April of 1957, after he had campaigned twice for Ike and Nixon. Sixteen years later, he glowered down at the likes of G. Gordon Liddy, Howard Hunt, and James McCord, who in March of 1973 appeared in Sirica's chambers with his famous letter of accusation...
...songs of 1965 "Who Are the Brain Police?", to his more recent commemoration of television "I Am the Slime," Zappa has to his credit rock's choicest statements on mass euthanasia (though admittedly, because their babies are treatin' them bad, other songwriters rarely address such topics). Zappa's critical eye looked beyond the government and Vietnam to the covert "moral faseism" of American society. While others lambast politicians and corporate honchos, he criticizes everything and everyone. Zappa has increasingly maligned the music business for becoming an industry that manufactures popular tastes as well as loveable records. He shows listeners...
