...kids of a certain period - the heyday and then the decline of the moon-landing program - the star-spangle-wearing Knievel was like an astronaut, but more exciting for how briefly and dangerously he broke the bonds of the Earth. With every boast, promise, world record and broken bone, he became a bigger figure and graced more lunchboxes. Driven to top himself, he pushed motorcycle design, and his luck, by commissioning the Skycycle, a rocket-boosted cycle he would use for his most famous jump. Trying to clear the Snake River Canyon in Idaho in 1974, he was blown into...
...that the record is a total failure. The band’s more zealous supporters will hail the album as yet another strong showing from the godfathers of modern dance music. Each track is a unique, vaguely interesting foray into synthesizers and beats—some even boast the accompaniment of Midas-touch producer Timbaland and pop-castrato Justin Timberlake. If the record ever makes it to the DJ booth, there will be a few intoxicated enough to dance to these songs, at least until they realize they’re not hearing Soulja Boy. That moment, however, will...
...gargantuan Los Angeles, it’s not a hub of debauchery like Las Vegas, and it never experienced the height of Grunge like Seattle. But now indie-folk group Blitzen Trapper is here to help define Portland with something else it’s never been able to boast: a country twang.

A fully equipped kitchenette is found in all 34 suites - of which 10 also boast an in-room wine chiller - and the five rooms on the Ladies Floor have dedicated amenities for women (like more hangers, for example). Owner Surya Jhunjhnuwala, the brains behind the groovy Vansh Indian restaurants in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, is a marathon runner and sets a health-conscious tone...
...victory over Princeton on Nov. 3, Kessler posted three consecutive shutouts, including a 5-0 win over then-No. 10 Clarkson on Friday.Then on Saturday, the nation’s top offense came to the Bright Hockey Center in the form of St. Lawrence. The Saints—who boast four players with over 10 points in just 12 games—were stifled by the Crimson defense, managing only 22 shots. When they did reach the net, Kessler was waiting. The Harvard netminder only let one shot get past her, helping the Crimson to a 5-1 victory...
