...Saturday, the Crimson completed its most grueling stretch of the season so far, five games in nine days against a quartet of tough non-conference opponents. Two games against three-time national champ Minnesota-Duluth, a stiff midweek test against first-place UConn, and then home clashes versus the Wildcats and Providence this weekend all featured the kind of fast-paced, high-impact action that now prevails among the top teams in women’s hockey...
Some youth-sports coach is a few years away from hitting the jackpot--a roster with the offspring of major league dad NOMAR GARCIAPARRA, 33, and ultimate soccer mom MIA HAMM, 34. Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Garciaparra and retired Women's World Cup champ Hamm met at a 1998 charity event and wed in Santa Barbara, Calif., in 2003. The pair told the world (at least the reporters who hang around the Dodger locker room) that they expect twins. No word yet on gender or due date, but news of the first kid for both athletes leaves sports fans...
Even in satin shirts and sparkly shoes, EMMITT SMITH somehow managed to look manly during his stint on Dancing with the Stars.

The all-time NFL rushing leader fired back: "It's only gay for guys who think they can be gay by doing it." (Translation--we think...

Last year’s collapse showed that a strong start in non-conference play is no guarantor of Ivy League success.What began as a promising 2005-06 season for Harvard turned into a nightmare just...
...Sometimes they became mainstream hits, like Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, which, in tickets sold, may still be the all-time foreign-language boxoffice champ. The hits spawned satellites: suddenly Italian films were hot. In the years after La Dolce Vita, dozens of pasta pictures played the big cities; foreign-film fans sought them out because of the director, the stars, the country. Another Italian film of less reputable pedigree turned into a hit: the shock-documentary Mondo Cane, on which we can blame not just a raft of cheap-n-sleazy Mondo movies but the wedding-reception standard...
