...heavy thinkers. With the Cubs having nothing to look back on or forward to, it stood to reason, their games stayed a little stiller in time, though grassy and unlit Wrigley Field obviously had much to do with it. "Their ivy-covered burial ground," the late composer Steve Goodman called it, where Gabby Hartnett hit his Homer in the Gloamin' and Babe Ruth may have pointed to the sky. Bill Veeck, who planted the original outfield vines in 1938, sits out there every day now bleaching his peg leg. That style of ivy is called bittersweet...
...international fugitive and once owner of the Silver State's most notorious brothel. The raspy-voiced, Sicilian-born Conforte resembled a character in a Mario Puzo novel as he related how he had given Judge Claiborne $85,000 in bribes to fix cases for him.

(Nor is this the first time Jackson has pressed the cycle image into dubious service. Remember his "cycle of pain" in Lebanon, as if Navy Lieut. Robert Goodman, the flyer for the American peace-keeping force that had lost more than 250 men to terrorist attack, and President Hafez Assad, who had at least acquiesced in that attack, were equal partners in crime?) Having framed the issue in these terms, Jackson proceeded to the logical conclusion: he proposed...
...only prerequisite for Music S-54, "Introduction to Jazz." is, according to the catalogue, "varied listening experience." Who ever thought summer school could be this good--spend class time listening to and discussing the major works of jazz greats like Ellington, Armstrong, and Goodman...
