...Chicks showing off creditable playing skills in their duet with Skaggs on "Walk Softly," which has been nominated for a Grammy. And those who associate Travis Tritt and Charlie Daniels with more heavy-handed material may see them in a different light after hearing their contributions, especially Tritt's modest but nifty banjo playing on "My Little Georgia Rose." It's refreshing to see these Nashville creations show off something that resonates beyond TNN, and one wonders whether many of their pop counterparts would have any such reserves of experience from which to draw...
...Core, the modest goal of offering 12 courses per year in each Core area, set by the Faculty in 1997, has not yet been met. Increasing the number--and especially the diversity--of courses offered in each Core area must be a top academic priority for the council, and we must urge the Faculty to maintain it as a top priority as well.

...crowd to "think how lonely it must have been," he was answered, according to my notes, with a "huge, weird cheer." I think I'm a fine enough person - why, the very next morning I was having people over for waffles. But I hope I'm not being falsely modest by pointing out that I'm no Harriet Tubman. And I'm certainly no Rosa Parks. As far as I'm concerned, about the only person in recent memory who has an unimpeachable right to compare himself to Parks is that Chinese student who stared down those tanks at Tiananmen...
