...certainly a black night for the Black Knight's of the Army men's basketball team. And more importantly, there were many bright spots for the Crimson in its 89-60 drubbing of Army at Lavietes Pavilion...
...Detroit News, which is owned by the Gannett Company, and the Detroit Free Press, which belongs to Knight-Ridder, continue to run separate news operations but have maintained joint business operations since 1989. Though their combined circulation has decreased by 24 percent (according to the companies) and they expect to lose over $100 million because of the strike, Gannett and Knight-Ridder won't give in to settlement even by arbitration. These are national newspaper chains; they are dedicated to serving up a profit-making product, much as McDonald's dishes out greased buns. People love it, but they...
...brainchild of some business school students who this weekend thoroughly enjoyed the "butter-flavored topping" on their large popcorn (it's the best buy) at the Ace Ventura sequel.

Nabokov's short fictions, on the other hand, are thresholds to his themes and some of the most nape-tingling prose and devilish inventions in 20th century letters. So better late than never, The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov (Knopf; 659 pages; $35) is a welcome edition to the shelves of old admirers and a chance for entry-level fans...
