...we’re going to come back better and stronger.”GEORGE WASHINGTON 7, HARVARD 5A costly turnover quickly transformed into a breakaway. With the game tied at 5 in the dying seconds of the third quarter, a Colonials attacker received a lofted pass halfway down the pool and sprinted towards junior goalkeeper Jay Connolly’s net in search of the go-ahead score.But what seemed to be a foregone conclusion was not to be, as Connolly smacked away the scoring attempt—one of three fast-break saves for the goalkeeper...
...Well before the halfway mark, I found my unengaged mind turning wistfully to another current film about a family gathering in a bucolic setting. That would be Dan in Real Life, in which a damaged figure, (the always excellent Steve Carell), playing a mournful widower, falls comically but painfully, in love with the wrong woman while somehow enlisting both our sympathy and our grateful laughter.

If there’s a metaphor for the experience of watching “Blade Runner,” this scene...
...hockey beat writer, but I am not a hypocrite. I’m not going to plead with the student body to choose Harvard-Cornell over Harvard-Yale, especially when I, like everybody else, will be halfway to New Haven by the time the puck drops at the Bright. Harvard isn’t a national athletic powerhouse in most major sports, but there’s no game anywhere quite like Harvard-Yale, especially not this year, and there’s no way you can miss...
