Fineberg, Rudenstine's third provost in eight years, is Rudentsine's taller shadow. Slim and a bit goofy looking, Fineberg is cool and unflappable under pressure...
...Graham's trial reveals shocking ineptitude. His defense lawyer, Ronald Mock, didn't call a single witness during the proceedings, essentially allowing the capital murder charge to go unchallenged. It wouldn't have been all that tough for Mock to do his job with a degree of competence: Slim evidence links Graham to the crime; several eyewitnesses have said Graham was not the man they saw at the murder scene, and when he was arrested, Graham was carrying a different gun than that used in the murder...
Echo Park, now playing at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem, is an early attempt to combine the outsider rhythms of hip-hop with the conventions of musical theater.

If those things fade, why shouldn't memory? Then there's genetics. While the members of my extended family often live deep into their 90s, by the time they hit their 70s, a lot of their cognitive lights have typically begun to flicker, and memory...
