...Harvard winds up its capital campaign, now is the perfect time, says Dingman, to bring College interests to the fore...
...when the powers that be pitted a triangle-chested, all-American black guy, "Night Stick" (very much in the NCO mold here), against "Yugoslavia," a balding, grubby, stringy-haired villain waving a Yugoslav flag, that cynical side pushed to the fore. Did that country need any more punishment, symbolic or otherwise?

And their dance music credentials come to the fore when the album finds its groove, as it does with the deep vocals of "Got to Find a Way." There's a too-much-of-the-sameness in the last few instrumental tracks, which seem indistinguishable, but that's a minor quibble compared to the quality of the rest...
