Right-winger John Cochrane, whose point work on power plays and tenacious flair on penalty-killing duty is anything but conservative, was named Harvard's 81st hockey captain in a vote by the squad's varsity letterwinners...
This double-edged aspect of the CB revolution is the subject of Jonathan Demme's film, Handle With Care. In this movie, Demme sketches life in a small-town American community whose inhabitants share a fascination with CB. Employed equally well by a nihilistic Nazi, a proselytizing priest and a wizened whore, the radio connects persons of different vocations and avocations.

One moment of imagination: the prowl of a vicious wolf-dog from hell whose breathing is synchronized with one of Jerry Goldsmith's Latin chants. Gregory Peck is well-meaning, but as animated as a potted plant, and the rest of the cast is colorless until their respective bloody deaths. Why is it that these movies strive to be so serious, devoid of lyricism...
