...says Decker. “It’s something I do for fun. It’s not something I’d like to make a career out of.” She lights a cigarette and begins to explain, somewhat drowsily, her modeling career, her brief stint in the Harvard Band, where (if anywhere) her modeling career is going next and how that fits into her I-banking plans...
Like the original, this Brian doesn't stint on the melodrama: there's a wrenching scene of a dying Piccolo kissing his sleeping children goodbye; when he gets the bad news from his doctor, a thunderstorm is raging. The cues are a touch more sophisticated (e.g., the sound track uses Simon and Garfunkel's mournful Bookends Theme, rather than cloying orchestration), but the improved production values have mostly to do with advances in TV.

By most counts then, this is hardly the ideal time to release...
...mark looms large for the Raiders in net, where junior Jason Lefevre, sophomore Dave Cann, and freshman Steve Silverthorn are competing for playing time. Lefevre and Cann split time against UNO, each starting a game and allowing five goals. The duo then struggled through the team’s stint in Minnesota, which led to appearances by Silverthorn in both games...
