...Athletes are to be thanked for the many hours of enjoyment they bring us. Our greatest achievements, however, have been directed by those who possess powerful analytical skills for critiquing both our culture and the nature of man's existence. Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X--none of these men came to prominence by way of athletics. They wielded great intellect and organized passion. We must make the creation of great minds our charge and our goal. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." DARRELL DORSEY Los Angeles...
...Actually, it is from the biography of Malcolm X. One of our friends was reading the book at the time. He told us that it was a sketchy restaurant in Harlem. And since three of us are named Jimi, we thought Jimmie's Chicken Shack was appropriate...
...Lots of changes are underway at the MFA. The museum's new director, Malcolm Rogers recently opened an outpost in Japan and fired several senior curators, among other things. Despite all this, the MFA undoubtedly remains one of the most important and steadily revered museums in the country. Departments are strong all-around, especially the Asian, Impressionist and Egyptian (touted as the best outside Cairo.) Notably weak, however, is the spare 20th century collection.

...Wabash held its academic ground--and instead co-opted the decade's new male zeitgeist. Even traditional courses like mythology examine "male/female archetypes, with readings from Camille Paglia and Robert Bly." In this day of the Million Man March, the college's Malcolm X Institute has assumed a larger influence on campus. Alumni are hailed not just in Big Business (former AT&T chairman Robert Allen) but also in show business (Broadway costume designer Tom Broecker), and Wabash was the first college to produce the Pulitzer-prizewinning play about AIDS, Angels in America. At the same time, Wabash...
...name Greenpeace immediately conjures up images of scruffy activists blocking railroad tracks to stop nuclear-waste shipments or challenging whaling ships in rubber rafts. So it's surprising to find in the ranks of this radical green group a button-down business tycoon named Malcolm Walker, who heads Iceland, a British retail food chain with 760 stores and annual revenues of $2.7 billion. But Walker, 53, whose personal fortune of $40 million puts him on the British "Rich List" compiled by the Sunday Times of London, sees nothing incongruous about his consorting with environmental militants. "I wear a suit...
