Hinz, originally from Great Falls, Mont., rushed for 686 yards and caught 36 passes out of the backfield for the 3-7 Crimson last year. He finished his Harvard career with 1625 yards (5.0 yds./carry), 55 receptions for another 801 yards and 16 touchdowns...

...since been brought low by the revelation of particularly tacky sexual practices. Lewis' music, manner and morality now seem almost innocent in comparison with what has followed him up the charts and into the hearts of adolescents during the past three decades. Even the act that shattered his career -- marriage to his 13-year-old second cousin Myra (the script is based on her as-told-to memoir) -- is something we now feel compelled to "understand," if not endorse...
