...functioning in Ireland as terrorist-enforcers of the status quo. Loach's film, written by Paul Laverty, focuses on a Sinn Fein (or revolutionist) "flying column" operating in County Cork, with special emphasis on a gentle young doctor, Damien (Cillian Murphy) and his more hot-headed brother, Teddy (Padraic Delaney), who is the group's leader. Theirs is a life of midnight raids on British barracks, roadside ambushes, betrayals, captivity (which includes brutal torture) and the meting out of summary justice to informers, all of which Loach captures with potent realism...

...into a rebounding machine in the second half of the season. Harvard outrebounded its opponent in each of its 14 Ivy League contests—a stat that, perhaps more than any other, exemplifies the Crimson’s turn around from one year ago. Crimson head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith harped about rebounding for much of the two previous seasons, and it seems this Harvard team finally took it to heart.Either that, or me being out of the country has been the Crimson’s good luck charm throughout the conference schedule. There is, after all, little evidence...
