...greatest comeback in series history started with an extraordinary pre-gam. During the player introductions, Cornell players skate out to center ice and kicked snow sprays in the direction of the already-introduced Crimson. Sophomore defenseman Mike Schafer cracked a still over his helmet and shook the at furiously at the startled Harvard players...
...WINTER in New York and everything, even the usually yellow snow, is in grainy black and white. This is Stranger Than Paradise, Jim Jarmusch's independent film that won the 1984 "Newcomer's" award at Cannes in May. The story of its evolution is near-legendary by virtue of a graceful coincidence: over three years ago, Wim Wenders director of Paris, Texas, the 1984 Cannes Palm D'Or grand prize winner, had given Jarmusch the leftover film stock which was to become the 90-minute Stranger than Paradise. Since then, Jarmusch has been punch-drunk on interviews, coaxed into heralding...
Stranger than Paradise feels gritty and honest. Jarmusch's black and white landscapes are bleak, almost neutral: the Florida beach looks like Ohio without snow. As Eddie mumbles. "It's funny.

This "new style of American filmmaking" is so ironic it makes your teeth hurt, but it's also witty and incisive. Paradise is a strange portrait of young Americans and new immigrants, looking...
...liberals," (and that's with a small 'I'--the self-conscious "Liberal" Abramowitz misses is better off dead) Eliot has one advantage.

We can count on engaging in arguments with intelligent, thoughtful people who happen to be conservatives. Not all voted for Reagan to protect daddy's horse farm. This insulting stereotype is bad enough by itself, but when it is promulgated in the pages...
...more than a month, the questions and rumors have been piling up like snow flurries around the red-brown walls of the Kremlin. Where is Konstantin Chernenko, who was last seen on Dec. 27, handing out awards at a televised ceremony? How sick is he? Is the frail Soviet party leader and President, who suffers from a pulmonary disorder, dying? Is he about to resign? Above all, who will succeed...
