...tiny cluster of fanatics, "Ghost World," has become the most anticipated movie of the summer. Sweat beads pop from their brows. They chew their lower lip and stare into space because fans of Dan Clowes, who created "Ghost World" as a series in his comicbook "Eightball," and who co-wrote the screenplay, are pessimists by definition. It really could be awful. Well folks, you can now unclench your nervous fists about any "Hollywood bastardization" and get ready to enjoy a nearly perfect cinematic adaptation of Clowes' cranky spirit...
...first anniversary of his election, which was also his 59th birthday. Fox tried to keep the nuptials low key, but somehow his wedding video made it onto national television, and all of Mexico saw Fox give Sahagun a delicate peck on the cheek, only to move in for some lip action at the prodding of spectators.

First the captain, current Carolina Hurricane Craig Adams '99 came in and tried to keep a stiff upper lip. I asked the first question and kept following up. To my surprise, the pros from the Boston Globe and Herald simply let me do all the talking-completely satisfied in the quotes they were getting. The rest of the Crimson tried to skirt the media that night. Just when I thought I would have to make do with Adams, then-sophomore defenseman Graham Morrell, a tough nosed kid from Natick who has sadly been injured far too often in his career...
