...reasons. In his previous two outings, Roy had come through with two wins for the Crimson (3-5-1 overall, 3-5-1 ECAC)--stopping 45 shots against Dartmouth two weeks ago and then blanking Cornell in raucous Lynah Rink. Roy, quite simply, was on a roll...

...Pogues muscled mainstream folk music out of its rut. Their raucous, carefully heedless style opened the way for the Hothouse Flowers, the Proclaimers and the Waterboys, three of the best bands working the newly fertile field of electric folk. The Pogues redirected and redefined a tradition that even such disparate talents as Tracy Chapman, the Indigo Girls and Suzanne Vega are working to excellent effect. Mind you, listening to MacGowan blister his way through Young Ned of the Hill or White City will not bring a fond smile to folkies who prefer their music mild, like a cup of chamomile...

Outside there was a | raucous standoff on the courthouse steps and plaza, where some 200 demonstrators, pro and con, sang, chanted and shouted. Inside, where the noise could not penetrate, the nine Justices were assembled to hear arguments in William L. Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, a case that could leave in tatters the pivotal Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in 1973. In both places many of the issues were the same. But inside, though the language...

...commercial project, Wired has its problems. Belushi, the brilliant, volatile star of Saturday Night Live and films like National Lampoon's Animal House, has become a posthumous icon, a symbol of the raucous counterculture comedy that Saturday Night Live spearheaded in the '70s. But cinematic tales of drug abuse (Less Than Zero, Clean and Sober) have fizzled at the box office, and Wired is an especially downbeat example. What's more, with Belushi's work so vividly remembered (and still widely available in TV reruns), a movie re-creation might seem morbidly gratuitous, even by Hollywood standards...
