Goaltender and team MVP senior Scott Baker (6-7-3, 4.11) will have a solid crew in front of him. Senior defenseman Owen Hughes (4-14-18) and Alex Duman as well as Shane Ness and Dabe Risk should ease the effects of the losses of Dax Burkhart and Scott Dolesh...
R.E.M. has reached that zenith of supergroup super-ness that allows a band to create a completely new sound for each album, satisfying its by now numb zombie-fans and hooking in new ones. New Adventures in HiFi, R.E.M.'s latest, is millennia away from the hipness of Monster, substituting rock'n'roll swagger for the earlier album's cyber cool. The departure is so extreme, and the change in genre so overt, that one can't help sensing some irony in this flavor-of-the-week from everyone's favorite emperors of alternative ice cream...
...social divisions has always been to put its faith in economics: Be good for business, the so-called Atlanta Spirit reminds its citizens, and business will be good for you. Even the oddly defensive tag Atlanta gives itself--"The City Too Busy to Hate"--rearticulates the hope that busy-ness can paper over resentments.

Nash Bridges. Mac Swift. Like Thomas Magnum and Tony Baretta, these names imply a benighted sense of macho can do-ness. Not surprisingly, perhaps, both shows wallow in an anachronistic treatment of women. For the most part they are portrayed as victims-either of Bridges' noncommittal ways or of nasty evildoers from whom they need Y-chromosome-enhanced protection. Prostitutes in danger turn up on both shows, looking not at all as they do on the streets of the grittiest precincts in urban America, or even as they do on NYPD Blue. Waifish and fresh-faced, they resemble well-educated...
