Here are famous people - names I recognize - who attended but did not not necessarily graduate from PA: Jennifer Aniston, Al Pacino, Isaac Mizrahi, Dom DeLuise, Billy Dee Williams, Ellen Barkin, Jessica Walter, Helen Slater, Suzanne Pleshette, Suzanne Vega, Janet Margolin, Marlon Wayans, Ving Rhames, Esai Morales, Gene Anthony Ray, Steven Weber, Amy Ryan, Elizabeth Peña, Nancy Allen. And here's a still from that famous scene in Fame (1980).
Another sports scandal is about to rock the NCAA, as the FBI did the policing the organization failed to do. I'm not sure the issue is worth the time and effort of law enforcement, as surely there are more pressing ones, but here we are. No one will be surprised. The corruption at the top level is obvious. Heads will roll - Rick Petino's seems to be the first. Reform will be promised, but there's so much money at stake that I don't know what may be done. There will be calls for players to be paid - as if that would end the cheating! There has always been chicanery at the college level, but today's seems monumental. I suppose it's naive, but I'd love to see academic standards followed. Is it too much to ask that the players actually be student-athletes? I suppose this would incite accusations of racism. Here's a shot of Petino, the first Division I coach to win a championship at different schools, Kentucky and Louisville:
Man, it was hot out there today. I was drained when I got home. My thanks to my only customer of the day, a woman who asked where I'd been, who bought Goddess of Vengeance by Jackie Collins, Tickled Pink by Rita Rudner, and The Black Echo by Michael Connelly. I've been under the scaffold, Lady, out of the sun, at my usual nook. Parking was unavailable in the area this morning.
