Through 2.2 scoreless innings, Salsgiver did his best stalling act, biding time for a comeback that, unfortunately for Harvard, never came. He allowed just one hit in his stint—a leadoff chopper through the left side by Princeton’s Jon Miller off a 2-2 curve. It was easily one of lesser abuses Miller (5-for-11, 3 RBI) inflicted on Crimson pitching this weekend and it proved altogether harmless once Salsgiver baited Princeton’s next batter, Ryan Eldridge, into a 4-6-3 double-play...
...East Berlin neighborhood to look like 1989 - all the parking meters had to be removed, for example. The key moment in the film, when the mother sees a Soviet helicopter carrying away a huge bust of Lenin, took weeks to shoot because of weather problems and a malfunctioning Russian chopper. Goodbye Lenin! won the Blue Angel, the award for the best European film, at the 53rd Berlin Film Festival in February. And critics are wowed. "It is grippingly funny, fantastically grotesque and endlessly moving," said the newspaper Der Tagesspiegel. How will it play outside Deutschland? The film has been sold...

Erik Hagstrom then scored Czarnowski with a chopper through the right side, cutting the Crimson’s lead to three...
...couldn't have felt as simpatico with more recent "hardware" musicals - all those flying chandeliers and whirring helicopters. (He pointedly left the chopper out of his "Miss Saigon" drawing.) But Hirschfeld was no Luddite; he was ever open to the Next Thing. As Anais Nin apostrophized to a lover in "Henry and June": "There will never be darkness because in both of us there's always movement, renewal, surprises. I have never known stagnation." Hirschfeld was anti-stagnation too. Like his thin pen-lines, he was lithe, blithe and on the move...
...fishing is kept low impact: anglers must use barbless hooks and release every catch. At the end of the day, when Craig's blue-and-white chopper whup-whups up the valley to lift you off the sandbar, only your bootprints remain. And you take home nothing but a tired casting arm and the memory of some of the greatest fly-fishing you will ever experience...
