Page 12 Life at a world-class research university is not always what it's cracked up to be for Michigan's 20,809 undergraduates. This week's cover story looks at the effects of research and graduate programs on undergraduate instruction and what some people on campus are doing about it. Cover photo by Dan Habib. DISCS Easy-listening Lori Page 3 An excerpt of interviews and review of songwriter and composer, Lori Anderson proves why her second hit album, Mister Heartbreak, is such a success. MUSIC The not-so-British sound Pages 4 & 5 This English band has been a hit with a guitar sound rather than a Boy George look. Big Country is featured, with an interview of the lead singer. Also featured is the seven-foot Texas singer/songwriter, T-Bone Burnett, who is making a rock comeback. FILM Sappy Selleck Page 6 Tom what-a-hunk-of-a-man Selleck tries his hand again, for a second time, at film.
