...these is his unfashionable conviction that individualism must cease when it threatens the legitimate, shared concerns of community. This belief is not a late-blooming flower of incipient dotage. As a fledgling professor during the 1960s, Giamatti bore the plumage of the counterculture. His clothes were rumpled, his hair longish; he sported a goatee and an unassuming, downscale, fist-around-a- can-of-beer manner. Students were attracted by this charisma. They enrolled in his courses and came out of them equally entranced by their teacher, but for radically different reasons. Bart expected them actually to read their assignments...
That's a lot of understatement. Brian Boitano and Brian Orser are linked circles in a perfect figure eight -- they mirror each other. It is not just because they have the same name, the same lean look and the same longish hairstyle. The two are both homebodies who enjoy the pampered slot of youngest in a long line of siblings. Each took up skating before his tenth birthday, and (unlike most skaters) still trains with his first and only coach.

The one rising swiftly up, the second slipping pathetically down, the once and future giants both are desperately seeking the same Elizabeth Taylor. His last film, Giant whispers the tragedy of Dean's death more painfully than any possible obituary...
...pale, slender young man speaking with reporters in Washington last week could scarcely have appeared more American. He was dressed in blue jeans and Nike sneakers, with a pair of aviator-style sunglasses dangling from the V neck of an open polo shirt, and his longish blond hair was tousled and curly. But the Russian accent was unmistakable, even as he began speaking in colloquial English: "The thing that I want to say is that I don't want to stay here." In another second came the more formal, doubtless well-rehearsed appeal: "I ask the American authorities...
