Clarkson head coach Mark Morris and the 3.285 rabid Clarkson fans protested, but to no avail...
Those scenarios are timid next to the real thing: the power one person has over another -- the puppy love, say, that turns rabid as two souls merge in a toxic rapture. For most kids this is just a part of growing up; somehow they learn to cope with the glandular and emotional convulsions that accompany the transformation from child to teenager.

Before the strike, attendance was running a little ahead of the record 70 million who went to games in 1993. Following the opening of Baltimore's fabled Camden Yards in 1992, new baseball-only parks -- combining classic ballyard architecture with modern amenities -- have brought sellout crowds to the Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers...
