...deeper style improves so much on the "old Joe Jackson" that his one left over from those days, "Pretty Boys," (also available on the Times Square soundtrack) falls flat. Even the theme is hackneyed: beautiful people succeed, uglies don't. He follows "Pretty Boys" with "Fit", a far superior attack on society's selectivity. In "Fit," he defends transsexuals and mulattos as examples of the individuals that 'free' society stigmatizes, and reassures the average citizen...
Likewise, the running attack concluded a fine season ignominiously--as in negative 11 yards rushing against Yale. But that poor performance only slightly tarnished the record of a consistent and occasionally outstanding rushing team. Fullback Jim Callinan, the talented Ohioan who, when not injured, proved himself to be one the best backs in the league, topped 90 yds. three times this season en route to his team-leading 461 yds. And halfback Tom Beatrice, the backfield's reliable workhorse, had 435 yds. for the season...
...again, moreover, the man on the spot is Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, whose 13-month-old effort to wrestle down inflation by gaining firm control of the money supply has helped roil up interest rates and keep the economy off balance. In recent months, Volcker has come under attack from the left and the right. While liberals accuse him of being too zealous in his struggle to hold the growth of money to below 6½% during 1980, conservatives have rapped Volcker for consistently failing to hit his target...
...sometimes Cornell would crack the glass panes that protected his images, in homage to the cracks in Duchamp's Large Glass. But the effect was much more violent, since-in a piece like Habitat Group for a Shooting Gallery, 1943-it suggested the rupture of a sanctuary, an attack upon Eden. The glass pane of Cornell's boxes, the "fourth wall" of his miniature theater, is also the diaphragm between two absolutely opposite worlds. Outside, chaos, accident and libido; inside, order, sublimation, memory and peace...
Walker is the key to Georgia's attack. Going into the regular-season finale against Georgia Tech this Saturday, he has rushed for 1,411 yds., a new school record and only 175 yds. short of the N.C.A.A. mark for first-year players set by Tony Dorsett at Pittsburgh in 1973. Says Gil Brandt, director of player personnel for the Dallas Cowboys: "Walker and Earl Campbell are the only two players I've ever seen who could have gone straight from high school to the pros...
