...enough for Rourke to sound like a Rambo who forgot to put the airpump to his navel; he has to dress up in his Vietnam fatigues, too. Our token Italian don in Dragon doesn't just get announced as the Italian, he has to put a voice box to his punctured throat to rasp out his tough words. What's this supposed to mean? Marlon Brando, eat your heart...
...waits for the sound of Big Ben, Minister of Munitions Winston Churchill finds his mind straying "back across the scarring years." A 16- year-old farm boy named Charles Lindbergh is free to buy a war-surplus "Flying Jenny." Wounded Ambulance Driver Ernest Hemingway, recalling a successful offensive in Italy, writes home: "Gee but it was great though to end it with such a victory!" Omar Bradley, a 25-year-old Army officer stuck at a post in Iowa, morosely hears the whistle blasts, certain that he is "professionally ruined." In the censorship section of the Liverpool post office...
...rebels found themselves squaring off against more than 1,000 loyalist troops near First Division headquarters, which also houses the army's main radio station. Without warning, rebel tanks and machine gunners opened fire.

If Harvard continues to argue that the University's current policy can make a difference in South Africa, its words will sound more and more like an apologia for the status quo than a realistic program for change...
...WEEI (590 am) provides the best and most consistent sportscasts--twice-hourly updates and two-hour wrap-ups on weekend nights; it also carries Patriots games. WPLM (1330 am) and WHDH (850 am) carry the Sox, but don't expect objective criticism from announcers Joe Castiglione (a Phil Rizutto sound-alike) and Ken Coleman--the way they talk, you'd think the Sox knew how to run the bases and the World Series was just around the corner, but hey, we all know who signs their paychecks. The Bruins are also on WPLM...
