Kelley came in to take some of the pressure off Monti, the Crimson's primary ball-handler and only true point guard, but Holy Cross' aggressive defenders pressured Kelley into stopping her dribble early and forcing passes where they shouldn't have gone. Of course, it was easy to spot her mistakes because she was often entrusted with the ball...
...silence is deafening: Two days after the Mars Polar Lander was supposed to have touched down and started sending back signals from the Red Planet's south pole, and still there is no word. The possibilities: The craft could have gone into a protective sleep mode after impact, and has so far missed its window of opportunity for transmission back to Earth. It's also conceivable that the probe landed on its side, making a clear transmission path even more difficult. The possibility that NASA doesn't want to think about yet is that the craft didn't survive...
...program for a New Year's Eve ball, incorporating Latin jazz standards such as "Mas Que Nada" and two or three pop favorites ("Beat It" and "Only You") into a group of songs for dancing close and reminiscing.

While true to her reputation, Manuela's agony appears the genuine...
...center of Yeremin's production simply cannot hold. Yeremin turns the speeches Chekov meant his characters to address to one another into performance pieces directed at the audience, turns moments of quiet, embarrassed emotional confessions into visual spectacles. Gone is the intimacy that makes Chekov brilliant and the nuance that makes him profound. Ivanov the play is too beautiful a play to be treated so harshly. And Ivanov the production is too gorgeous to engage in such a struggle. Chekov and Yeremin are both brilliant, but their brilliance is not of the sort that can be reconciled...
