...State politicos--including Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), two state representatives, the Massachusetts House Majority Leader and a Boston councilor-at-large--will get the chance to show off their particular blend of bureaucratic humor in what Charles Cohen of Nick's called the first event of its kind in Boston...
...presume to take positions on particular candidates for tenure, leaving that evaluation to the good judgement of excellent scholars. But when a department rejects everyone, tenures no one, and leaves the brunt of the teaching load on an ever-changing cast of junior professors, students have a right to question the process. While debates about scholarly standards rage in Robinson, undergraduates now will take their instruction from two brand new assistant professors, one fresh out of grad school, who no matter how talented, are just starting...
Governments in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands in particular could face a pacifist backlash if they blocked a Soviet-American agreement to get rid of shorter-range missiles. At present the Soviets have about 130 shorter-range weapons -- some 50 in East Germany and Czechoslovakia, the rest in the western U.S.S.R.

...cross catchy pop melodies with premium-fueled rockabilly riffs of the type Billy Zoom used to spew out with X. Although their simpler and more familiar sound suffered a bit in comparison with Bullet Lavolta's complexity, Lemonheads came across live as a pop bard with serious balls. A particular delight was "I Don't Wanna," an infectious single which could easily be played on WBCN but which never gave the impression of sucking up to the mainstream (for more on Lemonheads, see the review of their upcoming album...
