...years, the change will require the addition of at least one day to the intersession period--and the subtraction of a day from the fall reading period. If two days need to be added to meet the seven-day requirement, exams will be held on the Sunday before the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, according to Arlene Becella, registrar for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences...
...immediate gratification generation, as we've been called (the name itsel implies childishness). But just look at the sorts of movies that major studios were pouring big bucks into in the '60s and '70s--quirky art movies like Robert Altmans Nashville or dark dramas like Martin Scorceses Mean Streets. Even the shoot-em-ups were intellectual. If you don't believe me, check out Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde.

His part on the ABC soap was not a stretch--he played Miguel Morez, a singer from Puerto Rico. Wendy Riche, General Hospital's executive producer, created the role after meeting with him just once. She was struck by his drive...
...feel it. Ricky is not a great CD, but it is energetic, forceful and eager to please. Martin works furiously to satisfy, to charm, to get feet moving, to keep hearts racing. This is an unabashed pop record, but it's saved by its Latin soul. It's charged with peppy horns and churning percussion and lyrics that veer from English to Spanish and back again. Martin's singing talents are limited--his voice lacks power and depth--but he is not out simply to vocalize, he's out to entertain. On Shake Your Bon-Bon, he parties hard...
