...also became the generative force behind the Velvet Underground, a band notable in the era of peace, posies and good vibes, for laying down rock music that virtually throttled the listener. Some of the Velvet's music is still among Reed's finest work, including a lengthy threnody called Heroin that is as devastating a drug song ("I'm goin' to try to nullify my life") as anyone has ever written...
Basepaths aside, Columbia still boasts two of the Eastern League's finest performers. Crafty junior righthander Rolando Acosta was the league's premier hurler last year (5-1, 2.39) in a season that included a masterful 3-1 win over the men-undefeated Crimson.

She is not a great dancer: the flow of near-perfect form is missing, and sometimes she moves with an awkward detachment from her body, hands and feet stiff as saucers. But unlike Laura Young, for example (who danced a typically colorless Princess Florise), Bauer focuses...
