...religion on TV has usually been soft-pedaled or protested. In 1997-98, ABC's button-pushing Nothing Sacred, about a rebellious young priest, was quickly canceled. Touched by an Angel was only vaguely spiritual. The God who spoke to Joan of Arcadia was carefully nondenominational. The WB's genial 7th Heaven, about a minister and his family, has been the network's highest-rated show for most of its 10-season run but has never got the hype of edgier shows like Everwood. Asks creator Brenda Hampton: "How do you promote, 'This week, Ruthie respects her parents...

The player whose teams so often finished second to the New York Yankees became the only manager whose teams finished ahead of them during the years...
...Quad and the River. An alternative place for food and coffee located close to the stacks will draw diligent students away from their books to—gasp—socialize. In a way, a Lamont “student center” has the potential to combine the genial atmosphere of an upperclass dining hall with a crowd drawn from across campus. In that way, Lamont could solve longstanding freshman-upperclass integration problems...
