...original roofs themselves at times aggravated the problems. William James Hall leaked constantly from the time it was opened until a few years ago, when a new roof was installed, according to Dean R. Gallant '72, assistant director for the center of behavioral studies...
...bridge of sighs has seen more to lament than the Stari Most spanning the Neretva River in historic Mostar. Last week, as a precarious cease-fire held in central Bosnia, the bridge, festooned with old automobile tires in a gallant attempt to protect it from the ravages of shell and mortar fire, stood in testimony to the most fervent hope of the trapped citizens of this shattered town -- that somehow the yawning gap between war and peace can be bridged and life allowed to resume again...

He has a childlike nature, at its best whimsical and gallant, at its worst careless and a little dim about the relationship between cause and effect. A recent widower, he is doing his best to single-parent two young boys (Robert J. Steinmiller Jr. and Miko Hughes) and to make good in his cute new job (as the comically ghoulish host of midnight horror movies) in a new town (Oakland, California, circa...
