...with energy and rhythm that had not been evident in the opening period. Dartmouth had the first opportunity to score, but the Crimson counterattack actually broke through. Senior forward Jennifer Raimondi led a charge up the ice, and after a failed attempt to convert the breakaway, an errant shot by junior winger Katie Johnston was put home by Brine to give Harvard a 1-0 lead.“[Brine’s] in the right place,” Stone said. “She’s a very smart player and knows how to anticipate where...
...decidedly back-court role. The dodgeballers also got creative with costuming—while many opted for House shirts and athletic shorts, some donned spandex unitards and war paint. Allegations of questionable calls resulted mostly in extensions of game time, or “restarts,” and errant students were quickly corrected by Kollmer and Blickstead’s harsh rejoinders over the microphone.

Clot is the hard-boiled, hard-drinking hero of Blood on the Saddle...
...wage hopeless battles while cracking jokes. He celebrates fighting the system as the way to keep the soul alive. So when he puts two old men on a bench in I'm Not Rappaport, it is not surprising that they are engaging codgers, inspired liars, tattered but gallant knights-errant. They take on the muggers, the drug dealers, the authorities who impose mandatory retirement, all without moving more than a few feet from the bench. Their skirmishes are uproarious. What gives the play a sad undertone of truth is the inescapable fact that they do not and cannot...
