...received a pledge pin from the fraternity that voted him into the brotherhood, and he got rip-roaring drunk to celebrate. Wynne and his fellow Sigma Alpha Epsilon brothers began their bacchanalia with an off-campus keg party featuring "funneling," in which beer is shot through a rubber hose into the drinker's mouth. Next came a communal bender at Murphy's bar, a frat hangout a few hundred yards from L.S.U.

His small, subtle observations play beautifully off Vija Celmins' meticulous renderings of expansive night skies and the late Felix Gonzalez Torres' monumental billboard of transient footprints in the sand...
Some did much more. Three weeks ago, David Sales, who didn't know of Singleton's history, found him slumped over the wheel of his van, a hose running from the tailpipe. "He was foaming at the mouth, and his breathing was really shallow," Sales recalls. He and his son Danny foiled the suicide attempt. In light of last week's event, Sales says, "The first thing I thought was, 'Should I have left that man in there...
