Director Joel Schumacher’s latest movie is based upon on the life of the Sunday Independent reporter of the same name. The film is the story of her self-imposed mission to clear the streets of drugs and drug pushers, culminating in her brutal death at the hands of gang leaders attempting to protect themselves from the momentum of her crusade. Most important, it is the story of Guerin herself: her character, her motivations, her fears and doubts. Cate Blanchett’s resplendent performance as Guerin seethes with passion and intensity in every scene...

With Dartmouth facing second-and-10 on the Harvard 22-yard line with 12:58 left in the game and the Big Green ahead by seven, a passel of Crimson defenders chased Rittgers deep into the backfield. As he scrambled backwards, searching for an open man, he backed up smack into the referee, knocking both of them to the ground and registering an 18-yard loss. Confronted with a seemingly impossible third-and-28, Rittgers launched...
