...Crimson began its season with a bang, pulling out a huge 9-6 upset over then-No. 5 Duke. Freshman Jeff Cohen also made his debut, breaking out onto the collegiate lacrosse scene with a hat trick...
...Chen shared his award in 1993 with New Zealander Jane Campion for her film The Piano - the only woman to take the top prize in Cannes' 62-year history. Ironically, Campion's 1989 debut, Sweetie, had been unceremoniously heckled at the festival.

"There's probably a huge need for an updated Women's Room, for all those 20-something girls who say they want to be feminists but no longer have the words," says writer Stella Duffy. French's greatest gift was to help women articulate their world...
