...LAST KISS 'GOODNIGHT' blared the tabloid headlines in New York City last spring. The story told of a Queens high school honor student, three weeks away from graduation, who dropped off his date after a prom and then, while walking home, was shot to death on a quiet street. A week later, one of his three young assailants - Angel Claudio, a 16-year-old tenth-grade dropout - found a lawyer in the Yellow Pages and surrendered to police, admitting that he had accidentally shot the victim with a .38-cal. pistol when the student resisted an attempt...

But Christopher Reeve makes his transitions from Clark Kent to Superman something more than a matter of fluffing up his cape; the man has a quiet sense of irony about him.

About 70 students joined in the quiet sit-in-on Lamont's ground floor after the 1 a.m. closing time. Heather C. Cole, librarian of Hilles and Lamont Libraries, asked the protesters to leave. When they refused, she called Epps, who arrived to say that he would meet with a small group of them the next day. The demonstration ended at 2 a.m. A few days later, the administration agreed to keep...
