...Kubacki shoulder curse, which nailed the southpaw to the bench his first two years, struck again November 1 at Penn. It is still plaguing him this week, just days before the Brown game in which the Ivy title will be won or lost for the Crimson...
Heedless of warnings from the bench, Fromme has already digressed into some of her pet causes, such as the fate of California's redwoods, because, she argues, "the defendant's state of mind" at the time of the Ford incident "may be directly concerned with such social matters."

That is all the conflict that the drama contains...
