Exhibit inspires discussion

By Jennifer Skoda | July 23, 1993

Fact or fiction. Documentation or art. These dualities are common issues in a discussion of photography because, although the process is a mechanized way to creating images of the physical world, the photographer's subject choices and methods of depiction render the outcome subjective. "To Image and To See: Crow Indian Photographs by Edward S.

Beat the heat: underwater hotspots

By Angela Crossman | July 16, 1993

It's sunny, hot, humid and sticky. You drip with sweat and smell like you've just finished an All-Star basketball game; instead, you're in New England in the midst of a heat wave. As your brow drips with sweat and your body pulsates with excess heat, you dream about swimming. The obvious first choice is the Connecticut River.

By Dawn Conner | July 16, 1993

Well they will all be in Hanover this weekend, as the town prepares for the 15th annual Hanover Street Fest, its celebration of summer. The numerous events will take place Saturday from 10 a.m.

Eastwood thrilling 'In the Line of Fire'

By Michael Hauser | July 13, 1993

First of all, skeptics of the world, "In the Line of Fire" is not another JFK conspiracy movie. The many references to the untimely demise of the president are included only for their symbolic value, and for the character development of Horton, played by the revered cinematic veteran Clint Eastwood. In his first production since his Academy Award winning "Unforgiven," Eastwood plays a secret service agent in this movie directed by German Wolfgang Petersen. Horton is known among his colleagues as a "dinosaur," having been in the department long enough to have been assigned to defend President Kennedy on that fateful Dallas afternoon in November 1963. Despite earning a legendary reputation for toughness over the years, Horton's career, confidence and personal life were never quite strong enough to overcome his apparent failure to dive in front of the fatal shots purportedly emanating from the book depository across the street. Enter John Malkovich as the antagonist.

By Marina Lakhman | July 9, 1993

Running a business can often be a gamble, and those who place their bets on Hanover must first pass an obstacle course of town by-laws that keep some businesses out of Hanover and help others prosper. Hanover is split into 14 zoning districts, each with a specific list of how land in the district can be used.

'Zooropa' marks U2 techno

By Dawn Conner | July 9, 1993

It was not too long ago that U2 flooded radio stations and heated the summer with its incredible smash "Achtung Baby" and outdoor concert phenomena "Zoo TV Tour." In an amazingly short time, the Irish band has created a new and different album, just in time for another summer. The new album, which keeps with the "zoo" theme in its title "Zooropa," is definitely not old-style U2.

'Distant Cousin' emerge from Dartmouth family

By Dawn Conner | July 6, 1993

Somehow the cute, elementary drawing of rolling hills, apple trees and stick figures that decorates the cover of Distant Cousins' compact disc does not quite seem to fit with Elvis Presley doing karate. Then again, the group's first album, "Twice Removed," is not exactly what one would call consistent.

'The Firm' dies on hype

By Dawn Conner | July 2, 1993

It's been hyped to be the hottest movie of the summer -- calling out to those countless numbers of fans who glued themselves to every page of suspense-writer John Grisham's best seller, "The Firm." The movie version, starring Tom Cruise, opened Wednesday in theaters everywhere. Unlike other suspense novels that make successful movies, like Jonathan Demme's "Silence of the Lambs," this law firm thriller plot fails to keep its audience as entertained because of the long-drawn out story and the slow pace. It contradicts the whole premise of a thriller which is to keep viewers on edge. Cruise plays the young, ambitious and money-hungry lawyer named Mitch McDeere. McDeere, having just graduated fifth in his Harvard Law School class, is lured to a small Memphis-based law firm called Bendini, Lambert, and Locke by offers of a high salary, a new home and a fancy car -- all the things he dreamed of possessing because of his impoverished childhood. Mitch's wife Abby, played by Jeanne Tripplehorn, is suspicious from the start of what seems to be a life that's just a little too good to be true.

Sleeping through Hanks' latests

By Kristen King | June 29, 1993

If viewers hadn't kept their eyes peeled waiting (and waiting, and waiting) for one of Tom Hanks' hilarious comic scenes in "Sleepless in Seattle," they probably would have been sleeping in their seats. And they wouldn't have missed much of the story.

'Jurassic Park' frightens and delights

By Joe Berger | June 25, 1993

The Jurassic period, according to history textbooks, was not renowned for etiquette or polite manners. In the recently released "Jurassic Park,"a delegation from that time in the Mesozoic era makes a general mess of their tropical island home, ignores traffic rules, eats people and spits. Mammals began to evolve just before the Jurassic, 215 million years ago,but they never made it past the nocturnal, tree-dwelling, embarrassing rat-like stage until the dinosaurs became extinct.

Spontaneous Combustion sings year's finale in Spaulding

By Brad Parks | June 1, 1993

It's 11:35 p.m. on a performance night and Spontaneous Combustion is on the serenading prowl. They've already made one hit, and they're looking for more helpless prey. The group's four current members, Lew Cirne '93, Bill Lapcevic '93, Norm Roye '93 and Dave Kaiser '93 bound down the steps of the Channing Cox apartment complex, filling the stairwell with the bops, bums and ba-das so typical of their 1950's doo-wop style of music.
