...Yale, Young visited both colleges one last time. While at Yale, Young was out on a launch with Bulldogs lightweight crew coach during an afternoon practice when a Yale heavyweight boat collided with a sculler going the wrong direction on the Housatonic River. The sculler was injured in the crash.“It was kind of a traumatic experience,” Young said. “We had to pull his single out of the water, and it was like Jaws. I had fun with the kids there, they were friendly, but that was kind of a little...
...cigarette puffs. Her hatred for him, and what he did to her, leads Karen into liaisons out of desperation and revenge. She thinks that robust Sgt. Warden (Burt Lancaster) may be the man she searched for in all those other men. In the famous beach scene, as waves crash over them, they lie down and she rolls on top of him, in command.

"We know what caused her death: it's been catalogued in minute detail by investigators in both countries," says one slightly disgusted French justice official when asked about this week's visit to Paris by the jurors.
