Colgate has jumped out to a good start in Coach Emmett Davis’s fourth season. Its only losses have come to Northern Arizona and No. 9 Syracuse. While losing these tough games, Colgate has knocked off Long Island and Oral Roberts along with its Ivy wins...
...unavoidable focus on QAF's sex shouldn't obscure its nuanced picture of gay life. The central characters--Brian, Michael, Emmett (Peter Paige) and Ted (Scott Lowell)--are, like the women of Sex and the City, a cross section of urban types.

Milam were declared not guilty by an all-white jury in less time than it takes to watch...
