...expect Hamilton to single-handedly work miracles. Deep teams will shut him down and take advantage of the Elis admittedly no-name defense this year. Yale's saving grace will be junior Dan Lombard, who got the nod in the ECAC quarterfinals against Colgate. Hamilton's antics may cause a few upsets, but the Elis should resign themselves to another short post-season without home...
...especially considering that none have any Division I experience. But with no snipers ranked in the top 50 in the league, and a pitiful average of just over 2 goals per game, Head Coach Roger Grillo is grasping at straws. To add insult to injury, Brown's only saving grace, goaltender Scott Stirling, was lost to graduation. However, Brian Ecklund was stellar between the pipes in the 6-0 win over the Saints. Just don't count on a trend...

But that's a minor point. Who better to fill the classic "golden boy falls from grace" paradigm than Hollywood golden boy Matt Damon? He's already shown a knack for playing psychologically mucked-up characters in Good Will Hunting and The Talented Mr. Ripley, so the emotionally scarred Junuh isn't too much of a stretch. The character walks a fine line between brash confidence...

The Israeli leader bought himself a month's grace in the form of temporary support from the ultra-Orthodox Shas party when parliament reopened Monday, but he heads a minority government that may be unable to avoid the prospect of early elections now that the hawkish Likud party has vowed to topple Barak rather than join him in an emergency government. And few analysts are optimistic over Barak's chances of winning an election held...
Buechner did not venture an answer to my question about the meaning of "great laughter." Difficult enough to talk about grace; impossible to explain laughter. We passed on to a discussion of secrets. I thought again of the humorless man I had met, and it struck me his affliction amounted to a form of stupidity. Stupidity, too, is one of the mysteries...
