Spart tactics include the personal harassment of campus leftists, and physical attacks on leftist rallies. But the most common Spart stunt involves raising the most strident, obnoxious slogans possible: my personal favorites are "Hail Red Army in Afghanistan!" and "Smash Solidarity's Counterrevolution!"

Gracing the Final Four three of the past four 1 years, Louisville has set a standard in college basketball recently, and it is not enough to say Houston raised the standard with a 21-1 second-half rampage that transformed the exercise into a 94-81 exhibition of stunt flying.

...even when she and Selleck are at their best, their characters trap them; the unflappable flapper and the hard-bitten ex-ace with a heart of gold never grow beyond stereotypes. Eve can that only dance and break hearts, but she can stunt-fly and shoot as well as the war veteran. (Mercifully, no one ever actually says, "Just like a man!," but it's the insinuation that counts.)
