Heinhuis’ stick had slipped underneath Banfield’s skates, and in her attempt to slap away the puck, she inadvertently undercut Banfield’s balance and pushed back on her with her right arm, sending the Crimson defenseman momentarily airborne and helpless. After her back hit the ice flat, Banfield’s head swung back and her helmet slammed into the ice at 6:12 in the first overtime. One twitch, and then she lay motionless. After Ruggiero stopped and turned, the official blew the whistle and a stifling silence blanketed the crowd at Union?...
Over 15 minutes in silence later, those attending to Banfield thought her well enough to be moved off the ice and onto a stretcher.

In Banfield’s absence, both teams started passively before Harvard’s offense emerged rejuvenated for the remainder of the first overtime. In the locker room, little was said about Banfield, but she was on everyone’s mind...
George W.

...through of Top Girls, one of several productions currently rehearsing for the Loeb Experimental Theatre, is initiated with an unusual ritual. The largely female cast and crew face each other in a circle and begin doing stretches. They start off with a relatively simple assortment of nerve-defraying arm extensions and breathing exercises, but soon begin emitting a guttural tribal chant. In moments, the scene of calm has erupted into a fervent sequence of chest-beating, head-twirling and tongue-extending, all done in approximate unison by ten normally rational individuals. Director Aoife E. Spillane-Hinks...
Mann, on the other hand, thanks modern medicine and healthy practicing for the longevity of his career. He says he may be the only professional violinist still performing after undergoing two rotator-cuff surgeries. The great Jascha Heifetz ended his concert career when tendon weakness in his right arm prevented him from bowing properly. These days, medical specialists have myriad techniques for keeping performers in playing shape even as their bodies age and muscles weaken. Musicians with dystonia, for example, who often suffer from muscle spasms, now receive experimental new movement and drug therapies...
