...BEEN 25 YEARS younger, he would have been the quintessential 1960s hippie. Instead, the sweet-souled, world-weary, darkly funny Kurt Vonnegut became the avuncular, rumpled hero of the counterculture generation. In books like Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions and God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, the satirist, who struggled with depression, repeatedly explored the harmful effects of industry on human beings' collective morality. After laboring in obscurity for decades, he shot to global fame in 1969 with Slaughterhouse-Five, a fictionalized account of his experiences as a POW and "corpse miner" in Dresden after the Allies bombed the city...

It would never cross an alum’s mind that a coach who was mentored by Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, as a player from 1984 to 1987 and as an assistant coach from 1988 to 1997, would at one time prowl the sidelines of Lavietes’ hardwood floor...
...said. Amaker had been the head coach at Michigan for the past six years, accumulating a 109-83 record but failing to make the NCAA Tournament before being fired after last season. Before that, he had been the head coach at Seton Hall for four years, reaching the Sweet Sixteen in 2000. “I can’t thank you enough for this opportunity,” Amaker said. “I certainly feel like it is going to be a joyous ride.” He replaces Frank Sullivan, who coached the Crimson for the past...
