Last Friday night in the MAC, around twenty eager competitors attired in everything from boat shoes and a Polo to full athletic gear and a “Balls of Fury” shirt ascended to the basketball courts. Here, they battled for the intramural sport championship treasured most by every House: table tennis. This was not the ping pong played in your basement back home; this was an all-out, Forrest Gump-style paddle whacking session. And to those that question the legitimacy of table tennis as a sport, Winthrop resident and team member Norman...
...posted a kill and a block to pull Harvard within two. The Tigers took five of the next six points to make it 19-13. Princeton then pulled away to take the set and the match, 30-20.

"I've spent some time with the President, and my strong impression of him is, at the end of the day, he's a pragmatist," Bayh says...
...classic 1986-7 graphic novel written by Alan Moore. Moore, who deliberately divorces himself from all film adaptations of his works—including “V for Vendetta” and “From Hell”—left a daunting task for eager filmmakers. Any worthy onscreen adaptation would need to capture the gritty depth and scope that have made the book so influential, while preserving the pace and stylistic flair of a thriller.In conveying the book’s events and emotion, Snyder largely succeeds. The high revenue of his last directorial project...
