Cornell played with unusual disadvantage, as its only goal-tender, Sarah Mott, was injured in a first-round game Friday, and the Big Red put the team manager, Diane Gregoire, in the nets. But the Ithacans worked hard to protect their new goalie and Gregoire more than held her own, stopping 31 shots...
...between. Explicit about his point of view ("equal" with rock fans), open about his limitations (the fact that grading albums could land him 6-7 B-plusses a week), and unabashed in his literary style (the construction of new words like "semipopular"--and the use of simile--like Mott the Hoople's "Rock and Roll Queen" is to "Star fucker" as Bad Company is to the Rolling Stones), this man is everything a rock critic should be, without any of the pretensions to which his cohorts fall prey...

...Anderson alternative--already embraced by Stewart Mott and others of the monied left--is a possibility. Though Anderson enthusiasts were having a hard time finding much support on the convention floor, their man stands to profit from every barrage Carter and Reagan level at each other. Many Americans will perceive Anderson as a moderate, and many on the left will examine his campaign closely and find much to cheer, both in style and substance. Anderson's vice-presidential choice, and even more importantly, his standing in the polls as election day approaches will determine how much support he gets from...
