...lead en route to a 4-1 victory. “They exploited some of our weaknesses and got a quick goal in the first period to get a little energy behind their play,” Harvard coach Katey Stone said. “We were sort of flat in the first two periods and came out and played our game in the third, but at that point it was too late.”The Crimson outshot the Wildcats, 11-2, in the third period and received a late goal off the stick of junior Jenny Brine...
...repeatedly touts himself as an “ignorant nigga,” doesn’t subscribe to the rap legacy of say, his long time friend Jay-Z, who intricately combines intelligent metaphors with impeccable flow. Beanie opts instead for hard-hitting, realistic lyrics with a pretty flat delivery that, at its best, sounds like Hova’s more mediocre stuff.

Coppola tries to compensate for the lack of a coherent storyline and weak performances with grand dramatic music and cinematography, but nothing can mask the disappointing shape of the film...

And there are many “legitimate” reasons why people with a median upper...
...drive more recklessly. If a user has the antidote readily available, he or she will be less careful in avoiding overdose and less likely to call the paramedics when an emergency happens, preferring to treat themselves. While this line of argument may make sense for car insurance, it falls flat in this context: Heroin addicts on the verge of overdose are far from rational. And even if they were rational, the downside to excessive heroin use—possible death—is a powerful disincentive to tempting overdose. Comparing death to a possible speeding ticket simply makes no sense...
