...possession. He sent in a dazzling cross, right to the foot of the team’s star striker, who put away a one-time rip into the side corner of the net, giving the squad a 1-0 lead it would never relinquish.It’s an intro that could describe any number of plays: a pass from Crimson star senior Mike Fucito to fellow standout junior Andre Akpan to secure a victory over rival Yale, a cross from Harvard’s sophomore leader Katherine Sheeleigh to senior striker Erin Wylie for a one-time tally...

The video starts disconcertingly, with a 911 emergency call in which a breathy voice asks the operator, “Please, send someone.” But Ashanti’s gasping sounds more like seduction than desperation. After the intro, the camera cuts to a mix of shots featuring Ashanti in different rooms and outfits; home videos of her with her man, photos of said man being unfaithful, and a murder scene all flash before the viewer’s eyes. This theme is another deviation from the typical Ashanti...
