...this point of his career.” Tri-captain Robbie Preston, competing at 133 pounds, was the only Crimson wrestler to fall short of All-American honors. He finished 3-2 in his third appearance at the nationals, losing in the round of 12 to Jake Strayer of Penn State, 9-6. “It was an extremely frustrating year,” Weiss said. “The whole team just kept believing, even though every time we turned around something would happen. But what these four guys did in the pressure match, where your season...

This idea was taken to an epic extreme in the film “The Day After Tomorrow,” which saw a shivering Jake Gyllenhaal racing against time through the frozen streets of Manhattan. The theory has its roots in a process known as the thermohaline circulation, by which ocean currents move heat from the equator to the northern regions of the globe.

The film is shot from the point of view of journalists, detectives, and members of the general populace, as well as a young political cartoonist, played by Jake Gyllenhaal. The true story of the Zodiac Killer is a frightening and horrible one, but the film is neither a conventional horror movie nor a carefully-crafted psychological thriller.
