...Harvard, we are over 2,000 miles from the Utah wilderness. But this doesn't mean we are powerless. Last Monday, at a talk co-sponsored by the Environmental Action Committee and the Harvard Wilderness Alliance, a packed room of over 60 students and community members attended a slide-show on the endangered redrock canyon country of Southern Utah given by Mr. Harvey Halpern of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. Letter writing campaigns have generated more than 450 letters and will continue until we defeat this bill. Students can make their voices heard by writing or calling their congressional representatives...
...whipping Letterman soundly in the ratings. As for the rest of NBC's fortunes, Littlefield, 43, has confounded critics, who regarded him as something of an empty suit--a protege of NBC programming whiz Brandon Tartikoff who inherited Tartikoff's No. 1 schedule in 1990 and quickly let it slide to third place.

...musical form featuring resonant bass lines and expressive, sometimes relentless percussion. But his new CD, Timeless, is a challenge to the boundaries of this still nascent music. Mixing elements of techno, jazz and soothing ambient music, Goldie's compositions defiantly slip the grasp of any one genre and instead slide back and forth between high-energy passages that make you want to dance and quiet interludes that make you want to assume the lotus position and meditate--or at least daydream a little...
