...second period featured furious action and simply dominating five-on-five hockey from the Crimson. Defensive breakdowns and penalties plagued Harvard, however, and teams skated off tied at three...
Beginning with, “Breaking me Down,” SOiL asserts its style immediately. This up-tempo opening track opens with a feverish drum line whose pace is so furious that it seems on the verge of falling out of step with the halting and heavy riff layered upon it. McComb shows off his ability to dynamically shift vocal tone, without stretching his overall range.

When Afsana, 18, a Muslim living just outside the Indian city of Ahmadabad, heard that a Muslim mob had torched a train carrying Hindus in the nearby town of Godhra, she knew what would come next: furious Hindus seeking revenge.

When he grew up, would he do that? "Maybe not rape," he said thoughtfully...
...friendship with Spike was to walk on eggshells. He once sent me a furious letter because I had called him a genius. Van Gogh, he maintained, was a genius. He, Spike, was not! He was wrong. The best definition of genius was given me by a philosopher: "A genius is one who, however slightly, alters our perception of reality." The father of the Goons fits that bill alright.
