...autobiography in Surls' work, but some anguish, too, mingled with self-mockery. Of course, Surls' sense of the demonic (or the angel ic, which makes a less convincing bow in one or two pieces) is filtered through quite a lot of art history, from Mini to the ornery, meticulously crafted constructions of the late H.C. Westermann. His main weakness is a penchant for cockeyed whimsy, which seems to be an inexpert deduction from Miro. But this hardly matters beside the strength of Surls' best work.

...popularity of the Wendy's slogan is spawning a mini-industry. Michael Stone, president of New York City's Hamilton Projects, Wendy's exclusive licensing agent, estimates that sales of "Where's the beef?" products may reach $30 million by the end of the year.

...games. Junior Brain Busconi led the team in scoring with just 18 points, a total so low it would have placed him 11th on last year's scoring list. Despite it all, Harvard won an Ivy championship and came within a goal of pushing Clarkson to a mini-game...
Trailing 1-0 in a game their opponent could afford to tie, the icemen rallied for a two-goal second period. If not for a freak third-period goal, Harvard would have broken a six-game Clarkson winning streak, forced the series to a mini-game, and perhaps returned to the Final Four for the third straight year...
