...Cornell course, however, with its deep gully and steep hill dominating the final mile, was perfectly suited for Newnham's hard-finishing style. "I wanted to really dig in and go on the steep part of the hill and on the crest as we came out of it," Newnham said afterwards...
...come home for his family--not for his stepmother about to marry the low-rent local politician Curtis Peavey, whose goons keep rearranging his caps--but to join his sweetheart Catherine, a woman he may or may not be married to. Stay away, she warns: "You called me deep-dish Southern plastic in a national publication!" She is a lesbian now, she maintains, having taken up with the bisexual Marcelline.

Du-Bridge: "Our football game is a full-time day of seminars for students and alumni. And they flood the campus for them. It is equal to homecomings in each of the disciplines." Adds President Goldberger: "Our unique position is our mystique. Our small size enables us to form a community of scientists, a scholarly intimacy that...
