...movement. Isadora Duncan by Alberto Savinio (Franco Maria Ricci; 184 pages; $125) shows just how exquisite some of these miniature sculptures became. All works pictured here were inspired, in one way or another, by the blithe spirit of American Dancer Isadora Duncan. Artists like Demeter Chiparus and Friederich Preiss, whose names are familiar today only to collectors, shaped ivory as if it were butter; the dancing figures they carved were adorned with bronze and stood or reclined on bases of marble or onyx.

Animals became part of the great chain of being and illustrators freshened their efforts to give birds and mammals moral characteristics. Perhaps the best and, ironically, the most obscure was Ernest Griset, whose influence can be seen in the works of such disparate artists as Beatrix Potter, creator of Peter Rabbit, and the whole phalanx of present-day New Yorker cartoonists.

Those hopes were extinguished almost immediately by the Clemson Tigers, whose roster includes such ominous-sounding names as Nnamdi Nwokocha (fr., Nigeria), Obed Ariri (sr., Nigeria), Godwin Ogbueze (sr., Nigeria) and Vincent Chika (fr., Nigeria...
...wrestlers breezed through the first three divisions with Paul Widerman, Andy McNerney and Fritz Campbell chalking up expected wins over the Wesleyan lightweights. Only McNerney, whose unorthodox style forces him to spend time with his back too close to the mat for comfort, had a moment of trouble before flattening the Cardinals' 126-pounder, Steve White, after...
