Both coaches agree that the meet will ride on the battle between Harvard depth and Yale talent. Yale boasts a quartet of fast swimmers in captain Cindee Simon, Sharon Vietz, Courtney Ellis, and Jennifer Decker, each of whom may swim four events. Harvard will counter with a more balanced line...
...moment Palestine is pleased by two jumpy canaries-one black, one yellow. Now she rolls back and forth. Her legs, still bowed, kick out spasmodically. You cannot tell if she hears the music in the nursery or the murmurs of the other babies, stacked up in their double-decker box cribs. She acknowledges no one. But everyone knows Palestine-if not by her blue "Space Patrol" sleep suit, then by the dark brown bruise on her right heel and, of course, by the circumstance of her birth...
...reality, or ontological authenticity, accounts for the strong documentary texture of the film. Avoiding the hermetic environment of the studio, Conrad and Dall shoot on location in Cambridge, Boston, Somerville and Framingham. The world seen through the camera--Park Street, Government Center.

After reaching the maximum in that event, he must compete in one or both of the others to continue to score. Thus Phil Mahre, whose best downhill showing of the season was a ninth place on Kitzbühel's difficult Hahnenkamm course, nonetheless has an advantage over skiers who do not take the risk. Stenmark decided this season that he needed those extra points...
