...most encouraging news was the play of the freshman midfielders, Westfall and Caitlin Fisher. Westfall especially was superb at times, frequently managing to eschew defenders and chip the ball into open territory. At one point she won a loose ball away from a rush of three Aggie players. Still a young player, she drew more criticism from the sidelines than anyone else, which means she is only going to get better...
Perhaps it was one too many screenings at last month's TV critics' junket in California, but TIME television writer James Poniewozik decided to eschew TV network coverage of the Republican National Convention in favor of the Internet. Attracted by its wacky name and its promise of 360-degree manipulatable cameras and self-serve audio feeds, he chose Pseudo.com as his web provider of choice. Here's a diary...
...does most of the entertainment qualify as propaganda? Los Van Van's lyrics eschew politics. The critically acclaimed Cuban film La Vida Es Silbar (Life Is to Whistle), which was shown at a Miami film festival last month, is critical of Castro's society.

The remarkable renaissance of the Mashantucket Pequot tribe...
...intense regard for detail and the relentless probing of recollection in the novel has led it to sustain comparisons to Proust. Unlike Swann, the ultimate pretender, Maumort strives to be true to himself, to make his decisions lucidly and to eschew disordered thought. He laments the rare instances where his recollection reveals that his motivations were not as definite as he sensed they were. He lingers over the decisions he makes in his life, wavering, but exquisitely aware of his equivocations. Whenever possible, he takes both roads at once, for example in his choice of careers. Driven by his distant...
