Better than 45 minutes into Friday's game against New Hampshire at Jordan Field, it looked like the Harvard field hockey team, which was trailing 4-1 at the time, would fail its first major test of the young season...
...suit, filed in L.A. Superior Court, Bochco says Fox sold the series to its fledgling FX cable network for a puny $400,000 per episode. (ER, by way of comparison, was sold into syndication to TNT for $1.2 million a show.)

Think of a hammer, and your brain hurriedly retrieves the tool's name, its appearance, its function, its heft and the sound of its clang, each extracted from a different region of the brain. Fail to connect a person's name with his or her face, and you experience the breakdown of that assembly process that many of us begin to experience in our 20s--and that becomes downright worrisome when we reach...
