From Fat Daddy Chico, the bookie who, with his entourage occupies the first row of seats, to the "suits"--the Wall Streeters who rode the 4 train uptown to take in a game--to the elders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints who somehow always manage to comprise a significant chunk of the bleacher attendance, a mass of humanity totally blind to distinctions of class, race and creed bound together around a man who had been chased from the pastime in disgrace for cocaine addiction...
...Billie, and kindles a romance with the dreamgirl of his adolescence as she falls into his life "like an influenza." All the while, Hex and Billie are haunted by the infrequent but always searingly memorable references to Hex's dad, long-deceased ex-nuclear scientist. Allen Raitcliffe. Yet somehow the decisions and bizarre events of the evening seem not at all forced or sudden (until the rather weak ending); the Raitcliffe's story seems predestined, foreordained, and the characters are merely performing their inevitable actions according to plan even when they act illogically...
...however, do Kopple or cinematographer Tom Hurwitz use their camera merely to point and shoot.

Moreover, because of the twice-Oscared Kopple's towering reputation, Wild Man Blues bears the brand of a "vacation film"; as with Scorsese's Cape Fear or Coppola and Altman's recent Grisham adaptations, the idea of Kopple filming a celebrity bio sounds on paper like a hard-working master taking a crowd-pleasing breather...
...there's a catch: the Chinese government may still try to build the electronic equivalent of the Great Wall around its country. As enthusiastic as they may be about the efficiencies of the Net, government officials admit they are still curious about the notion that the Net could somehow be "boxed." In that imagined future, Chinese citizens would have easy access to domestic websites, but sites outside the mainland--cnn.com for instance--might be blocked. China would become one big, self-contained Internet--what techies like to call an intranet--sealed off from the rest of the world. Access...
Furthermore, the claim that the relatively large minority populations that used to live in the Quad and Quincy somehow stifled campus-wide student interaction is equally misleading. The administration would be wrong to conclude that these communities lacked diversity and somehow prevented interaction between students on campus. Consider the perspective that before randomization the Quad was not the most segregated, but rather the most integrated place on campus...
