Worst band: SLU. A lone trumpet player came to Bright in January and played a lonely solo of "When the Saints Go Marching In." If this fella was the act, everyone would have been marching...
...divorce trial of Herbert and Roxanne Pulitzer served up a succession of toothsome headlines about naughty doings among the Palm Beach rich : group sex, lesbian encounters and suggestions of unspeakable things performed with a bedside trumpet. All this was allegedly borne upon a flood tide of cocaine, Dom Perignon and money. The whole sordid story appears anew in Roxanne's latest attempt to cash in on her notoriety (previous ventures included posing nude, for $70,000, for Playboy).

Labor put on a strong show by adopting staged events, photo opportunities and other techniques refined by Thatcher four years ago. Last week...
...Hesburgh vision and trumpet have reached far beyond South Bend. He has always insisted that "my purpose is to produce educated Christians. I don't want to be Harvard, I want to be the greatest Catholic university in the world." Nevertheless, last fall he acted as point man for 111 Catholic college presidents who rebutted a Vatican schema for greater control over the appointment of theology professors at Catholic schools. Their objection was that such control could infringe academic freedom. "The church proclaims the word of God loud and clear without any doubts," says Hesburgh, whereas the "university...
