...which are baseball metaphors. So we try to only concentrate on this last year when we ruled the school with both an open door and an iron fist. But that makes us seem even more terrible, especially since we wouldn’t tell anyone about the 18-inch iron fist until they had come through our open door and we had locked it behind them...
...That’s the secret, really. Don’t write out “TIME!!!” in inch-high scrawl—it only brings out the sadist in us. Don’t (Cliffies) write offers to come over and read aloud to us your illegible remarks—we can (officially) read anything, and we may be married. Write on both sides of the page—single bluebook finals look like less work to grade, and win points. This chic, shaded calligraphic script so many are affecting lately is handsome, and is probably...
...prime, during the early 1990s, Romario was quick, slippery and deadly. He could make an inch of space seem like a mile, and he worked angles like Pythagoras. But, in true malandro spirit, the creativity he showed in and around the penalty box may have also been at work in his math when it came to counting goals.

...votes short of an invitation. Bouncing back, the Scarborough, Ontario native has traveled to meet with teams, bulked up, and upped his game. In one of his pro day workouts he managed a time of 4.16 seconds in the short shuttle, 7.09 in the three-cone drill, a 37-inch vertical jump, a 9’4 broad jump, and 18 bench presses.But teams have been concerned with Dawson’s 5’10 frame and mediocre top-end speed. Since bulking up his 40-yard dash has dropped from 4.54 to 4.63 seconds. Although he has done...
