...living, singing proof that the love song -- like love itself -- will never really disappear. Other performers may grab the headlines and spark debates on the op-ed pages, but by going against the critical tide and recording harmonious ballads, Boyz II Men has won an enormous following. Its 1991 debut album, Cooleyhighharmony, sold 7 million copies, and in 1992 its mournful, melodic single End of the Road stayed at No. 1 on Billboard's charts for 13 weeks, breaking a record set by Elvis Presley.

Then at the last moment, the South rose again. On Friday an appeals court granted the Citadel a stay pending a hearing of arguments, which will probably take place in December. That will effectively postpone Faulkner's cadet debut for at least a year. For now she intends to continue as a day student. She said, "I'd say I'm being selfish and doing this just for me. But I do, in a way, think it's for women who might follow...
