Moreover, there was one other dominant scorer on the team, only she was not a forward. Freshman Angela Ruggiero led all defensemen in the nation with 21 goals and 40 assists and is without a doubt one of the most imposing presences in women's hockey. Her speed and strength make her a threat in the defensive zone, on the breakaway and from the blue line.

The "later Wittgenstein" spent the next 18 years agonizing in front of a small Cambridge seminar of devoted and transfixed students, who posed curious questions that he then answered--or pointedly did not answer--with wonderfully austere if often enigmatic aphorisms. An obsessive perfectionist, Wittgenstein worked and reworked his notes and left his second masterpiece, Philosophical Investigations, for posthumous publication in 1953. Both books will...
