With junior Jon Ross recovered from the back injuries he's suffered though-out the year rounding out the starting six, the squad's chances for a solid performance in this weekend's Eastern College Volleyball League quarterfinals at Rutgers are promising...
From the distant and almost unchallengeable position of one of the elder statesmen of Motown. Gaye did not yield to the glitter favored by his flashier colleague Diana Ross. Instead, he kept a strain of witty criticism in his early seventies recordings.

After an uncomfortable journalistic debut as a subeditor on that now defunct "independent" Communist journal The New Masses, Rovere was hired as a writer by William Shawn, then The New Yorker's managing editor. A few years later Shawn and Harold Ross, the magazine's founding editor, assigned him to write about politics as if he were a critic-reviewing a book or play. Thereafter, diffident and a bit owlish, the critic plied the provinces with nearly every would-be President from Thomas Dewey to Jimmy Carter. Rovere also found time...
