...League Player of the Week for the week of Nov. 12 after her season-high 24 kills and match-leading .488 hitting percentage in the Crimson’s heartbreaking 3-2 loss to Cornell in the final weekend. Outside hitter Laura Mahon capped off her senior campaign in fine fashion, playing in all 93 games of all 26 matches this season. With her 1100 career kills and 1292 career digs, Mahon joins Melissa Forcum ’99 as only the second Crimson player with at least 1000 kills and 1000 digs in her career. She led the team...

But since the spokesman for one attitude is unspeakably stupid if not downright insane, the “issue” which the film discusses is no issue at all. We are expected to feel a grudging admiration for this Colonel Nicholson as he suffers...
...melodrama. Its only valid “meaning” is as a glorification of human courage. Its primary appeal is not to the understanding or the esthetic sense, but to whatever in us is receptive to sheer physical action. But as such, it is a very fine movie, a highly effective blend of tension and irony...
