...going to achieve your goal, the way they wrestled in that round just shows me this program is taking a big step forward.” Early highlights for Harvard included a seventh-place finish—the highest ever for the Crimson—at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, and four wrestlers placing in the top five in their respective weight classes at the Midlands Championships. Harvard rode the dominating efforts of O’Connor, Meltzer (25-7), and Caputo (30-9) for most of the season, and had tri-captain Bode Ogunwole (11-0) anchor...
...just received [a post]: ‘GO EAT HER PUSSY and then realize you’re gay so you have an identity crisis that’s followed by years of pain and anguish until you finally snap and drive your powder blue VW van off a cliff with the bodies of little boys in the trunk.’” Um, okay.

Someday after our civilization is only ruins and records written in a dead language, parents will take their bored children to see the rubble of our great buildings. At that point all that will matter...
...Snow” boasts some shining moments but never achieves originality. Cinematography by Eric Alan Edwards lends an eerie and surreal sense to the film by incorporating images of the sparse New Mexico desert in various states of gloom. While interesting as a stand-alone project, the music by Cliff Martinez clashes with the content of the film. Classical and refined, the score falls short of creating the tense mood that is clearly intended. As both director and screenwriter, Fergus controls several key components of his film, but he squanders his opportunity on a grandiose vision that never materializes. Parts...
