...previously uncollected writings and interviews that appeared in a range of publications, from the "quality-lit" (Southern's phrase) mag "the Paris Review" to "Puritan" (the adult publication that was so explicit it was sold shrink-wrapped). Both books fill a significant void, offering evidence that Southern remained a potent, wildly creative scribe during his last 25 years on this planet. His skill in career-planning never matched his consummate wit and imagination (in fact he was a dismal dealmaker), but at least now his "invisible" years have yielded a number of characteristically strange and amusing stories, articles, and anecdotes...

Zimmerman got the opportunity to watch a potent and balanced scoring attack in action. The pre-eminent threats on the attack were junior Mike Crosby, sophomores Mike Masterson and Istvan Zollei and senior Grant Garrigues. Freshman 2-meter Todd Schulte also made an immediate impact in his first season...
