During a four-game sweep of Yale at O'Donnell Field, Huling made three positively spectacular plays on top of a smattering of merely excellent ones, saving at least three runs.

About to be busted when a jewel heist goes awry, Miles Logan hides the loot--a humongous diamond--in a construction site. Released from jail two years later, he discovers the finished building is now a police station. To recover the gem, he impersonates a cop.

The Administration tried to sidestep criticism by insisting that any spying that...

...this image becomes questionable. At various times, she claims that she is a thief, just like MacDougal; yet she continues to report to her boss, indicating that she is merely using her thief story to trap MacDougal. To illustrate this uncertainty, the opening scene of the movie features a heist in which a masked thief steals a Rembrandt painting. The audience assumes that the thief is MacDougal, but later on, Baker claims that...
