...address at this past Commencement, President Rudenstine waxed poetic about plans to physically restructure the academic departments. The lynchpins of the plan are the proposed "Bok Center for the Humanities" in the building currently, and for the greater part of this century, known as the Freshman Union, as well as a "Social Sciences Quad" in the Littauer region north of the yard. In front of a sea of wealthy potential donors, Rudenstine seemed suddenly possessed by the spirit of Khrushchev. In his ardent pitch for restructuring he informed the crowd that, "the new facilities will be designed to create--quite...
There are likable characters and funny moments, even a ritual redemption in the poetic finale, but the dominant moods are treachery, betrayal, revenge and greed. The most beautiful words spoken are about the few hundred acres of land on which all the action unfolds -- so ablaze in spring that one character equates Moses' burning bush with a scarlet azalea -- yet it ends up despoiled and abandoned, wanted by no one save for the coal that lies beneath, and that can be reached only by scraping away the last remnants of soil, life and growth...

Could there be poetic justice for the bard of black humor? Yes, and of a kind he might have appreciated.

Witnesses said the teen surveyed the carnage and woozily exclaimed, "God! Look at my truck!" As for Kinison, a former Pentecostal minister turned scourge of all things decent, he seemed to be in an urgent discussion with...
Tupac Shakur seems to be enjoying as much material success as Snoop. Besides racking up strong sales for his second album, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., last summer he played a postal worker who romances Janet Jackson in Poetic Justice, the film by Boyz N the Hood director John Singleton. But judging from his background, Shakur might have been a shooter no matter what career he had pursued. In a sense he was doing time even before he was born. His mother Afeni is a former Black Panther, one of a group accused in the early 1970s of conspiring to plant...
