...order.With strong competition at first base, this power position may create one of the most challenging choices, but junior Andrew Prince is ready to take on the responsibility.The left-handed Bay Area native—a life-long Giants fan—evokes San Francisco’s most famous slugger as a hulking presence with a little swagger. Still, the junior corner infielder has not made the impact he envisioned after two seasons at Harvard.

Jackson, T-Pain, Quincy Jones, Cederic the Entertainer, and some less famous people are paraded onscreen almost too quickly for you to figure out what the hell is going on. If you’re counting, between them that makes 3 Academy Awards, 7 Academy Award nominations, 28 Grammys, and 94 Grammy nominations, all colluding on this one fateful night on the dance floor. Ultimately, this...
