...Yale. As if dropping out of the top U.S. News spot after a brief one-year stint, being prohibited from having sex with your professors and losing a third Game in a row to the Crimson weren't enough, poor Elis live in the 13th most dangerous city in the nation, according to a recent Money Magazine study. Cambridge didn't make the list...
...Dawson--the speaker--was pretty good though. And like Moss, he was a blessing to Marshall from Florida State. Dawson arrived in Huntington in 1968 after a brief stint as a tight end for the Boston Patriots. He was an All-America at Florida State, the "other end" down the line from legend Fred Biletnikoff. "Freddy used to say one of the hardest times he was ever hit was when I ran the wrong route and collided with him," says Dawson. "I'm here to tell you, it was Freddy who ran the wrong route...
...refinery town on the Gulf of Mexico. His parents were Fundamentalist Christians, and as a teenager he thought of becoming a preacher.

What makes the biographical parts of the film most interesting is that the real focus is Neil Young and Crazy Horse--how they...
Born in New York City in 1923, Lichtenstein served a stint in the Air Force during World War II--which must have laid the ground of his later comic-strip images of gung-ho pilots blasting their enemies from the sky--and then, after studying art at Ohio State University, moved back East. He was a slender, elegant man who, with his beaky nose and long gray hair pulled back in a ponytail, acquired in his later years an odd physical resemblance to Georgia O'Keeffe. He lived for his work, assiduously producing it on a near industrial scale--sculpture...
