...soon gleaned that Whitman, who would go on to serve as co-editor of the Radcliffe News, was unique.“She was full of energy,” Cronin recollects. “She paced all the time, rather like a tiger in a cage.”When Whitman received the Jonathan Fay Prize, awarded to the highest academically ranked member of each class, her classmates were not surprised.“She wrote more in a blue book during an exam than I was able to write in four pages,” Cronin says...
...movie has enough plot for three good movies, or at least three better ones than this. There are two tragic mother-son pairs, two suicides, a grotty autopsy, a car crash and much spectral infiltration of supporting characters.

"I'm happy they would dismiss something that millions of people around the world are playing," he says. On the eve of the World Cup, jawing between the world's top players has begun. May the best brand win. Adidas...
...PTSD can manifest as alcoholism, disregard for one's health and deteriorating relationships. Nightmares may plague the miners, says disaster expert Raphael, as might survivor guilt connected with the death of their colleague, Larry Knight, 44, who was operating the machine to which Webb and Russell's cage was attached. And while their ordeal could yield lucrative media deals, they'll have to come to grips with forever being known as the two blokes who were stuck in the mine.
