...similar charge, you’ll recall, was leveled at former Crimson great Isaiah Kacyvenski three years ago, and all he’s done is earn the starting middle linebacker job with the Seattle Seahawks. All-Pro center Matt Birk ’98 has squashed those stereotypes, too. Sooner or later, you’d think that coming out of Harvard—hotbed of overachievers that it is—might actually be considered a selling point. But Soriano says questions about his commitment to football keep coming up in interviews...
Like an all-pro linebacker, sulley (voiced by John Goodman) has a hulking star quality. A great bear of a monster, he has the job of jumping out of bedroom closets, scaring small kids and harvesting their screams to generate power in Monstropolis. Nobody does it better. Returning to his own side of a closet door as a dozen girlish wails follow him, he says, with modest pride, "Slumber party...

This is a heady album, but it doesn't let braininess get in the way of guttier...
Indiana is home to big-time sports and all-pro conservatives. Hoosiers rate a balanced budget and lower federal taxes as their priority political issues, and though four of their 10 House members are Democrats, none is considered a liberal. The last time they voted for a Democratic President was 1964--Lyndon Johnson...
