Harvard (8-13, 3-5 Ivy) started out strong defensively, limiting the Tigers' motion attack. Both teams went early with the 3-point shot and it paid dividends. Captain Damian Long hit three early 3-pointers, but Princeton center Chris Young responded with the same feat--leading to an early...
...thing that stands out, of course, the staggering, brilliant feat of his life, was this consistency - creating a funny, interesting set of characters that we were still glad to see next to our cornflakes, even after 50 years. All of Schulz's would-be successors flamed out. Berke Breathed was brilliant in "Bloom County" for a while, then retreated from the strip after an accident and could never recapture the magic with his next try, "Outland."

Anderson defies expectation specifically by refusing to produce such hurdles. While he has the opportunity to create critical wins or losses in each story, he refuses to make plot take over and refreshingly redirects these moments, remaining faithful to character and allowing conflicted desire to obstruct itself. The mosaic storytelling of the film, handled with exquisite skill...
