...more complex features, his films are, at their core, simply enjoyable to watch. Hearing the characters in “Mutual Appreciation” discuss death by “ass cancer” or watching Alan (indie rocker Justin A. Rice ’99 of the band Bishop Allen) play a small yet immeasurably passionate show provoke laughter without needing intellectualization...
...experienced losing, so they know what it takes to get over the hump and win.” The rest of the league certainly won’t be a pushover. Defending champion Cornell returns reigning Ivy League Player of the Year and 2005 All-American Elizabeth Bishop, an unstoppable force at outside hitter.

In early July, respected preacher and religious activist Zhang Rongliang was jailed for seven and a half years on a pointedly non-religious charge: forging a passport. Later the same month, 82-year-old underground Catholic bishop Yao Liang was arrested along with another priest, according to Catholic activists. And on July 29 the resort city of Hangzhou was the site of what some witnesses call the biggest confrontation between security forces and Christians, a bloody clash over the demolition of a church involving thousands of protesters...
