Team loses to Auburn, fails to advance

By Michael Schroeder · Wednesday, May 15,2002 10:55 p.m.

The IU women's tennis team served up the usual this past Saturday -- strong doubles play and porous singles play -- in a 4-3 heartbreaker to Auburn in the NCAA Regional semi-finals. A team that has been hampered by injuries all season long, especially down the final stretch, it has relied heavily on the team doubles point but been unable to count on singles to ice matches. The result has been a dreary 4-5 team record in April and May, and four 4-3 losses, including the most recent season-ending loss to Auburn.

For Luciano Pavarotti, it's over. For Salvatore Licitra, it's just beginning. On a night of high drama at the opera house, Pavarotti disappointed thousands of his fans by deciding at the last minute he was too ill with the flu to sing the closing performance of the Metropolitan Opera season.

'Afterdark' thought provoking and complex

By Christopher Lee · Sunday, May 12,2002 11:12 p.m.

The new play that opened at the Bloomington Playwrights Project this weekend, "Afterdark" by New Yorker Kara Manning, is supposed to examine the personal lives and relationships of seven city dwellers trying to make sense of their world, post-Sept. 11. It does successfully raise some important questions and offer flashes of occasional insight, but just how many questions and what they may be is not always clear. For every truth eloquently illuminated, there seems to be two other threads left untied.

Mayor Daley's new bulldozer

By Nic Halverson · Sunday, May 12,2002 10:51 p.m.

The best breakfast I've ever had was a greasy Polish sausage with grilled green peppers. I remember it all so distinctly, so vividly -- as if it were a lucid dream. A cantaloupe dawn was breaking over the foul waters of Lake Michigan. Yawning delivery men were heaving bundles of the Chicago Tribune on street corners, and the line at Jim\'s Hotdogs was at least a block long. Those electric blue insect zappers were zinging and flypaper dangled over the deep fryers. Maxwell Street was muggy, even at 6 a.m., and sweat trickled down the spine like spooked rodents.

Voter turnout an embarrassment

By Jim Harper · Sunday, May 12,2002 10:47 p.m.

As I arrived at a polling station last Tuesday to campaign, I expected a flurry of voters throughout the day. I was sadly mistaken. Instead, I sat in my car most of the day keeping warm as hours passed with few or no voters to be seen. By the end of the day, only 102 of the precinct's 525 voters had voted.
