When I was in tenth grade, my pal Aubrey introduced me to the music of Camper Van Beethoven. After listening to Third Album, I was a groupie. Everything about Camper, from the violinist to the song titles and offbeat album cover, appealed to my bizarre adolescent psyche. I listened to them when I was awake; I listened to them when I was asleep; I bought their LP's their EP's, a three-inch CD single, their violinist's solo album, their collaborations with Eugene Chadbourne and all of the albums done by a spin-off group, Monks of Doom...
...Myerson decided he could build another Finley-size business overnight. His pal William Simon introduced him to former baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn, who accepted a $500,000 annual draw largely for lending his conservative name to the shingle.

...Another pal, real estate peddler Donald Trump, last week proposed that Tyson buy his way out of jail by fighting again and donating his take to Indiana rape centers. This scenario will not unfold, even if Tyson could find an opponent (Holyfield, says his promoter, Dan Duva, will not fight Tyson). Bert Randolph Sugar, publisher of Boxing Illustrated, gives three reasons: "The state athletic commissions will lift his license. No hotel chain will sponsor it. And the event would have no advertising. You just can't see the announcer saying, 'And in this corner, the convicted rapist . . . Mike Tyson...
