BY STEVE RUSSOLILLO Sports Editor NEW ROCHELLE, NY-Who is Bany Bonds? Fans and the media are accustomed to the controversial superstar chasing the career home run record amidst steroid investigations. But who is the real Bonds? Delaware alumnus Jeff Pearlman interviewed 524 people for his latest book, "Love Me, Hate Me: Bany Bonds and the Making of an Antihero," which was released today. He went beyond the steroids era of Bonds' life and offered a detailed explanation of who the icon really is and what he stands for. The sources range _from former teammates to Bonds' Cub Scout den mother and first grade teacher. "I was kind of fascinated by what makes this guy tick," Pearlman said. "Who he is, not just what he's done, but what makes him do it. We all know he's a tough guy, often times an asshole. But what makes him an asshole? Why does he treat people that way?" · In an excerpt from Pearlman's book, opinions on Bonds differ greatly. Former San Francisco teammate Eric Davis describes Bonds as a" 'quiet, caring and a giving individual,'" where­ as former Pittsburgh Pirates team photographer Pete Diana says " 'personally, I hope Bany dies.' " While writing the book, Pearlman was aware that San Francisco Chronicle reporters Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams were writing "Game of Shadows," a book specifi­ cally detailing Bonds' alleged steroid use. Pearlman, former Editor in Chief ofThe Review in 1994, said he wanted to make it clear that his book is a detailed biog­ raphy of Bonds' life, while "Game of Shadows" focuses on steroids. "The only thing that really bothers me is when people say there are two Bonds steroid books out," Pearlman said. "My book is not a steroids book, it's a biography. I go back to his childhood and Arizona State. I really dig into who this guy is_,, When Pearlman was interviewing his sources, he told them he was trying to write a "fair, balanced and accurate por­ trayal about Bonds." "I initially thought that meant 50/50," Pearlman said. "But when you find out that 70 percent of the people find him to be reprehensible and 30 percent say he is OK, that fair and balance is 70/30, not 50/50. "Balance becomes what people think of him; it's not that 50150 is automatically balanced." Pearlman said talking to 524 people gave a more reveal­ ing portrait ofBonds than Bonds would have given of himself. The prologue to Pearlman's book detailed his attempt to get in touch with Bonds. Initially, Pearlman said Bonds politely declined his inter­ view request. Pearlman then told Bonds he interviewed more than 500 people, including Bonds' Cub Scout den mother Marlene Rossi. Bonds turned around and yelled "dude, I was never in Cub Scouts," and walked away. "That's kind of how he is - he's bizarre, he's weird," Pearlman said. "He's a very hard guy to figure out. He has this idea of how a superstar is supposed to be. You're sup­ posed to remember him; he's not supposed to remember you." In an excerpt from the book, an ex-teammate of Bonds said the slugger "yearned to be the Michael Jordan ofbaseball, icon of the game." However, Pearlman said it is not in 'DNA to be the face of his sport. "He doesn't know how to go about it," Pearlman said. like I could try as hard as I want to be Tom Cruise. Some are just not possible in your makeup. It is impossible to be a smooth, cool, nice, empathetic human being." In another excerpt from the book, Bonds brought his

Bush could spread gaps between voters Intense and widespread opposition to President George W. Bush is likely to be a sharp spur driving voters to the polls in this fall's midterm elections, according to strategists in both parties, a phenomenon that could give Democrats a turnout advantage over Republicans for the first time in recent years. Polls have reflected voter discontent with Bush for many months, but as the election nears operatives are paying special attention to one subset of the numbers. It is the wide disparity between the number of people who are passionate in their dislike of Bush versus those who support him with equal fervor. The latest Washington Post-ABC News poll showed 47 percent of vot­ ers "strongly' " disapprove of Bush's job performance, versus 20 percent who said they "strongly approve." In the recent past, this perennial truism of politics - emotion equals turnout - has worked more to the Republican advantage. Several weeks before the 2002 midterm elections, Bush had 42 percent of voters strongly approving of him, compared with 18 percent in strong opposition. Democrats were stunned on election night when Republicans defied histor­ ical patterns and made gains in the House and Senate. The president's party usually loses seats during the first midterm elections after he takes office. The premise behind the Democrats' hopes this year is simple, though not easy to quantify: people impassioned by anger or other sentiments are more likely to vote, even in bad weather and in relatively low-proftle races, than are those who are demoralized or less emotional.

Iran seeks to bolster illegal weapons The Iranian government has intensified efforts to illegally obtain weapons technology from the United States, contracting with dealers across the country for spare parts to maintain its aging American-made Air Force planes, its missile forces and its alleged nuclear weapons program, accord­ ing to federal law enforcement authorities. In the past two years, arms dealers have exported or attempted to export to Iran experimental aircraft; machines used for measuring the strength of steel, which is critical in the development of nuclear weapons; assembly kits for F -14 Tomcat fighter jets, and a range of components used in missile systems and fighter-jet engines. Federal agents say as tensions increase over Tehran's alleged nuclear weapons program, so does the concern that Iran might strike at U.S. forces and personnel stationed in Iraq and other countries if the United States or its allies take military action against that program. In recent weeks, Tehran has announced new weapons systems, including missiles it claims to be A birthday on Main invisible to radar and torpedoes too fast to be avoided, although U.S. experts have questioned Iran's assertions about its capabilities. The Bush administration says it is committed to a diplomatic solution to address its concerns that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons.

BY JOYCE ENG Staff Reporter . As the April 24 fall registration date rapidly approaches, students peruse through course booklets, track their credits and required classes and, more than likely, research professors. Looking up professor reviews on RateMyProfessor has become a pre-registration ritual for many students. Junior Kate Kelly said she and her friends use the Web site frequently. "I think it's helpful," Kelly said. "I go on it to choose between teachers for a class I might want to take. It's nice to look at what [other students] have· to say."

BY KEVIN MACKIEWICZ Staff Reporter Learning a professor's personality and style of teaching is crucial in determining how to study for exams and write papers for a class.

Ann Ardis, associate dean of the College of Arts and Science, stated NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY in an e-mail message each college works with the department when profes­ sor absences will occur. OFFICE OF UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS, UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, NEWARK, NJ 07102-1982 "Every year the College of Arts and Sciences faces three or four situ­ ations in which coverage of a faculty member's courses during acute or long-term illnesses is an issue," she said. Pauly said it is his responsibility to take care of the situation when a professor in the English department misses class because of an illness, pregnancy or death. He looks first to see who is qualified to take over for the professor, then evaluates how long the professor will be missing. "I have to go through the 45 faculty members and find who is the most qualified," Pauly said. "I try to go with some funding if it is adjunct facul­ ty and have to rely on them to volunteer if it's regular staff." In reference to Cotsell 's cultural studies class, which Pauly ran for two weeks until Cotsell returned, he said, "I couldn't find anyone who really knew the books and I had to read the books and take over." Cotsell said it was challenging in his situation because the students had to adapt to more than one professor. "It remained a very difficult semester for everyone," he said. Senior Katie Rowan said she did not have motivation for Cotsell 's class because she did not know which professor's teaching methods she should adapt to. "It seemed like we didn't get any solid information from the adminis­ tration," she said. "There was a sense of uncertainty the whole semester." Senior Christina Yates said although the circumstances were challeng­ ing, Cotsell remained understanding with attendance and the workload. "He was lenient and he expressed that attendance would help you do better in class, but I don't think he looked at lack of attendance and less­ ened your grade," she said. Pauly said it was not as much a problem to find a replacement for jour~ nalism professor McKay Jenkins when he missed classes due to health issues because he was able to find another professor to teach the material. In this situation, a replacement was found to take over for the rest of the semester.

BY CHRISTOPHER MOORE Managing Mosaic Editor Rosanne Cash is songwriter. In fact, Rosanne Cash is a good song­ writer. But considering her genetics, how could she not be? Although her family name carries so much history, it's the songs that tell her story. The eldest daughter of Johnny Cash recently released "Black Cadillac," a stunning opus on human emotions. The album seems especially poignant considering it was written during a period when she lost not only her father and stepmother, June Carter Cash, but also her mother, "Seven Year Ache" Vivian Liberto Cash Distin. The material is raw, captured when Ms. Cash was at her rawest. "If you're dealing with a tidal wave of emotion and it finds its way into song," Cash says, calling in from New York City, "for a songwriter, that's what you want." That emotion has created the spark that allows "Black Cadillac" to burn so vividly. From the dark under­ "King's Record Shop" currents of the title track, to the angry, fist-raising sentiment of"Like Fugitives," the album is more than just Cash's meditation on grief, which many articles have pointed out. It's easy, though, to see how specks of her life experiences have worked their way into the songs. "People are focusing on the backstory," she says, "but it's about so much more. It's about ancestry "The Wheel" and renegotiating relationships and the simple survival of love. "It's not just a record about grief." Cash, a mother of four, says she thinks it may be difficult to see such depth considering her family's histo­ ry because "the attention on [her] ~1 family is so tremendous right now." .....,...,.,,...- That attention, spurred in part by a Hollywood version of her family's "Interiors" life in "Walk the Line,". has made some view "Black Cadillac" as a trib­ short film, "Mariners and ute album, something Cash is quick Musicians," debuting at the end of to dispel. this month at the Tribeca Film "It's dangerous to pull the leg­ Festival in New York City. end [of Johnny Cash] into my private Featuring songs from "Black life," she says.
