Quote of the Week: "We missed that shot because the player plays for Vermont. We are a timid, scared team right now and I have to get the losing demon out of our system. We have to exorcise it out, and it's my fault that we haven't yet."--Vermont basketball Coach Tom Brennan after Catamount Mike Lubas missed a wide-open layup at the buzzer during his team's 53-51 loss to Harvard...
...course, battles between producers and censors continue to rage. "We have discussions with them every week about various lines," says Marshall Herskovitz, co-executive producer of ABC's thirtysomething. "Network TV still has a terrible attitude toward sex." With regard to political controversy too, the networks seem as timid as ever. Shootdown, the recent NBC movie about the downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007, was altered at network insistence to soften its charges of a U.S. Government cover-up. Midnight Caller, already the target of protests from homosexual groups over a segment on AIDS airing next week, was forced...
...earliest paintings in this show, like the portrait of his grandmother from 1900-02, are timid, earnest homages to Corot and Boudin.

...Airplanes is the story of M. (Rocco Sisto), a timid Manhattanite who, while walking his date home one night, finds himself transported to an alien ship, where spacemen subject him to various medical experiments, then release him with a warning to forget everything. M.'s struggle to remember, and to tell the world, is at the heart of the piece...
...long time, Hispanics in the U.S. felt hostility. Perhaps because we were preoccupied by nostalgia, we withheld our Latin American gift. We denied the value of assimilation. But as our presence is judged less foreign in America, we will produce a more generous art, less timid, less parochial. Hispanic Americans do not have a pure Latin American art to offer. Expect bastard themes. Expect winking ironies, comic conclusions. For Hispanics live on this side of the border, where Kraft manufactures Mexican-style Velveeta, and where Jack in the Box serves Fajita Pita. Expect marriage. We will change America even...
