...John Travolta's arrival. Travolta is about to give a press conference, and his fans gather below on Holyoke St. Lights flash on, cameras start to roll, but before Travolta can be introduced, the chant floats in from outside: "We want John! We want John!" It doesn't even rhyme...
...really improved over just the last three games. Last night against St. Anselm's they played the best they have all year. The coaching has been improving, and the team along with it. However, I still feel there is too much substituting going on. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it, and it only destroys the confidence of the players knowing they'll be taken out any minute.

Rather like the Duke of York in the old nursery rhyme, Syria and Jordan marched to the brink of war last week, then marched away. For a few tense days, however, the two Arab antagonists had provoked international jitters that another hot war was about to start in the Middle East.

Heymann shows that power can hardly cushion a poet attempting to assert the validity of his or her expression, that money cannot buy literary respect, and that the ability to pen lines that seize readers has little to do with heredity. Rhyme and gene conditions do not necessarily mix. This message of the Lowell family leaps out of American Aristocracy. Again and again Heymann shows that distinguished writing flows only from distinguished living in its harshest sense. Only the three Lowells who actually reached down the throat of their heritage, grabbing their...
