...unfulfilled expectations. Robert Palmer and John Hiatt (remember "the American Elvis Costello"?) didn't survive them. Countless other saviors, long since forgotten, were also victims. And even Bruce Springsteen needed time to recover from critic Jon Landau's infamous "I have seen the future of Rock 'n' Roll" line...
...work is if more John Lo Schiavos assert themselves. What was so refreshing about the San Francisco decision was that it came from outside the chummy, clubby atmosphere pervading college sports--beyond the tightly knit coterie of coaches, athletic directors, alumni, and sports writers and broadcasters. The will to roll back the abuses of the system can only come from those above the fray--from college presidents, boards of trustees, and perhaps even from the state legislatures who control the purse strings of the major state schools and their football factories...

A devoted child of the audiovisual age, the millionaire author still likes to get up in the morning and switch on rock 'n' roll. King, his wife Tabitha and their three children alternate between an airy modern house in a Maine village and a 23-room Victorian extravaganza in Bangor. Wherever he happens to be, King compulsively churns out 1,500 words a day, just as he has done since the late 1960s, when...
