...words tumble out in a rush, full of hard advice in terms of "bucks" and hours, and mixed with engineering jokes about explosions and electrocutions. "That's a good way to get yourself blown up," Horowitz says as he modifies a circuit plan on the blackboard. His students, who had to fight their way into the course, laugh briefly but quickly return to their slouches and listen carefully, sifting through the secrets about studying stars, building stereos, and what Horowitz might have found on an apple skin the other...
...only just learning about cars, because unlike most teenagers who grew up in New Jersey in the late 1950s, he spent little time tinkering with engines or hanging around parking lots. When Horowitz turned 16, he didn't rush out to get his license--he picked it up a couple of years later. Cars didn't seem fun. Neither did boy scouts, football games or proms, the things most of his schoolmates liked...
...overpowering defense merits the same praise. Beginning six years ago with the drafting of Defensive Tackle "Mean" Joe Greene, Noll gradually put together the best defense in football. The Steelers' front four, the most ferocious in the league, flattened quarterbacks 52 times this season with their savage pass rush.

...Rush to Judgement. An assassination-conspiracy film, the sort of thing that's moving into the mainstream after Cock-burn's Harper's article on the "second gun" theory (which according to my foremost paranoid contact--who was bursting with 'I told you so's'--wasn't considered that good by experts). This one is on the Warren Commission, made by Mark Lane and the same Emilio De Antonio who made In The Year of the Pig and Milhous. At B.U.'s Sherman Auditorium Sunday night at 8 p.m. Lane will be there to show more footage and discuss...
