...heads in rumpled baseball caps reading "Brown" and "Tufts" and "UVM" and "Exeter" and "Bowdoin"--all wandering the banks of the Charles, eating sausages, buying T-shirts, watching boats. They were all our guests. And we made the annual sacrifices. Like having to be cleared by a smug Harvard cop before entering our own houses. Like being allowed only one visitor--Harvardian or not--in our dorm rooms. Like giving up the right to have alcohol delivered. So as Harvard cop cars followed the Blanchard's liquor store van around preventing them from bringing us alcohol, we just sucked...
...Fork. "We can't control MSG/ Our tongue has become paralyzed." Takagi declares that his song is mainly "about MSG companies trying to make a lot of money in Asia," though there seems little risk that he will get boiled as Ice T did in America over his Cop Killer track...

The new CBS series, about three brothers who wear black fedoras as members of a police special-crimes unit, is in many ways the most preposterous new show of the season. In last week's premiere, the villain, a sadistic ex-con, was an unstoppable monster straight out of Friday the 13th, and the action scenes (including a bungee-jump knockout) made Road Runner cartoons look realistic. Still, creator Stephen J. Cannell (The A-Team, Hunter) has a knack for vivid...
