...from Camille Paglia and Robert Bly." In this day of the Million Man March, the college's Malcolm X Institute has assumed a larger influence on campus. Alumni are hailed not just in Big Business (former AT&T chairman Robert Allen) but also in show business (Broadway costume designer Tom Broecker), and Wabash was the first college to produce the Pulitzer-prizewinning play about AIDS, Angels in America. At the same time, Wabash's old-fashioned but effective code, "The Gentleman's Rule"--which says the only rule is that students behave like gentlemen--is winning grudging applause at national...
Four years ago, the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band would sound fresh, intelligent and original. Now, however, the band sounds like it steals from the talents of musicians such as Tom Petty. Live On, their new album, seems to be trying for a folk-rock-ballad like quality, with an overuse of the harmonica-lead guitar combination. In most instances, this tactic fails.

Malkovich is bizarre by comparison, with beady eyes at inappropriate moments and a sneer of a voice which sounds more like somebody choking than talking. You can imagine this movie being born out of a stoned conversation about...
Kids and retailers of all ages will fondly remember Sheriff Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) and his battery-powered pal Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), who together saved a lot of other toys from a fate worse than yard sales. This time hero Woody is the victim--kidnapped by Al to complete a set of classic '50s toys. Turns out Woody, or the marionette that inspired him, was once famous. He starred in his own TV show. He generated spin-off merchandise like radios, yo-yos, ukuleles. Heck, he was on the cover of TIME...
