...Lions held a distinct 10-2 advantage. After tying the game in the first minute of the second half, Harvard never came close again as Columbia pulled away from the Crimson. The poor shooting and plethora of wide open misses led to long rebounds that the Lions converted into fast break opportunities. “Sometimes when things don’t go our way on offense, people put their [heads down] and we give up easy baskets on the other end,” junior guard Drew Housman said. Harvard gave up five-straight possessions where Columbia simply...
...glamorous court. The score includes undertones of the whispering, scheming courtiers and the distant, outraged cries of the English public. It deftly builds tension and suspense to the point where it quite sufficiently replaces extraneous dialogue. Intimate interior scenes are spliced with establishing shots that show the sky in fast-forward, the clouds moving rapidly over the castle and its walls, as though the film is moving towards an inevitable and grim ending.

So, when the Vatican recently added Sister Lucia dos Santos, who died in 2005 at age 97, to this list, many wondered why she had been put in that esteemed company...
...centrality of Fatima to the second, "suffering servant" stage of John Paul II's papacy, and his involvement with the two men who would become the Vatican's numbers one and two after his death, may help explain why Lucia's cause has been fast-tracked for beatification. Of course, there are other reasons: Fatima still receives 5 million pilgrims a year, and there is no real downside in pleasing them. And since the Vatican had already carefully vetted the circumstances of Fatima to beatify Lucia's two companions, how much more work need be done to establish the heroic...
