...Clayton D. Miller ’10 doesn’t look like someone who would casually refer to himself in conversation as a Level 68 Dwarf Priest. Disarmingly polite, with a large buckled belt and a baseball cap that proudly reads “The Virginian,” Miller is every bit the Southern gentleman. And yet, surprisingly, every bit the World of Warcraft enthusiast.“You think you won’t be into it ‘til you try it,” he drawls. “Like Harry Potter...
...which it failed to do against Penn State, losing the doubles point in a sweep and leaving its singles players to climb out of a hole. “To a certain extent, we were sleep-walking through some of the matches,” junior co-captain Chris Clayton said. Given how dominant the Crimson was in its first two matches—cruising to consecutive 6-1 victories against George Washington and Penn—the team’s early complacency against Penn State—which finished last season ranked No. 43—was perhaps...
...nine separate singles brackets and four separate doubles brackets, an unusual format in which no ultimate champion was determined and 16-player brackets were labeled by color. “I was really happy with the way everyone competed,” junior co-captain Chris Clayton said. “Even when people lost, they went down swinging.” But it was Chijoff-Evans who stole the show.

Born into a working-class Irish-American family that also weighs on him, Michael was a policeman before joining the firm. The question the film asks: Is he, at heart, a cop who collars...
...Clooney keeps impressing me by his alternation of frivolous and serious roles, and his apparently effortless ability to make both convincing. He can go from heartthrob to Oscar candidate simply by relaxing his smiling face into a rictus of exhaustion. The frown lines dominate here; Clayton is worn out, and the movie spends a little too much time documenting his dissipation. It's more compelling when it follows the money, and the other clues Edens has sleuthed out about how far a company will go to protect its good name (and its stock price) by suppressing information about the toxic...
