...gritty performance to propel the Bulls to a 90 to 88 victory over the Utah Jazz in game 5 of the NBA finals Wednesday night. The victory puts Chicago ahead in the best of seven series, 3 games to 2, with game 6 Friday in Chicago. Jordan, who appeared gaunt and exhausted from the opening tip, scored 21 in the first half and finished the game with 38 points, including the towering game-winning 3 pointer with 25 seconds left to play...
...literature will have no effect on them and will not, in turn, be affected by their particular personalities. And just as clearly, this is not a phenomenon confined to these hallowed Harvardian halls--the warring intellectual stereotypes of the acne-ridden, bespectacled, socially inept math-science geek and the gaunt, black-clad, pseudo-European postmodern drama student are universal in American society, and are probably older than any of us (except, perhaps, for the postmodern part).

...little too easy to dismiss the gaunt and frail-looking 75-year-old suffering from prostate cancer as just another artifact from the psychedelic era. There was a time, after all, when "tune in, turn on, drop out" was the mantra of a generation. People have forgotten how influential his International Foundation for Internal Freedom (pronounced If, If) was and how dangerous the government considered him. LEARY IS GOD was almost as popular a button on campus as peyote was in the mid-'60s. It wasn't just the kids who fell under the spell of Leary...
