...retail sales took them to wider audiences, winning new generations of admirers. The new movie should reach break-even point when the 8 millionth viewer parks in a seat at the movie house to watch the fun.

Rather than allow the act to lapse entirely, Congress has opted to temporarily extend the current law first until February, and now until March. “The need for extensions provides something for both sides to find encouraging...
...dominance—Dartmouth’s Elise Morrison is the league’s premier post player, but she’s out for the season with a torn ligament in her foot—Rollins is fast becoming the Ivy’s best on the low block. She seals impeccably well and has great hands, providing Harvard the inside force it so lacked in a perimeter-oriented offense a year ago.Best of all, Rollins combines her low post moves with a consistent 10-to-15 foot jumper, a skill that forces low-post defenders away from...
