Down 35-14 at the half, the Big Green battled back, scoring 24 consecutive points. Dartmouth tied the game up at 35-35 after a 23-yard TD reception by Jay Barnard and two rushing scored by Michael Gratch. With 1:57 left in the game, Tyler Lavin knocked in his first career field goal from 25-yards out to give Dartmouth the lead...
...profound, from the Borders superstore near the twin towers that was completely destroyed, to the many closed publishing houses, to the canceled promotional events. September 11 was the laydown date for Warner?s $7 million Jack Welch book, but all of the scheduled hoopla, including an appearance on the Jay Leno show, was immediately put on hold. (Despite the lack of publicity, the much-awaited book soared to No. 1 on the 9/30 NYT list in its first week.)

And however leisurely Jakes' presentation may seem, each sermon eventually reveals itself as perfectly calibrated and balanced, cohering into an often exquisite extended metaphor...
...from tough neighborhoods of Havana or Alamar, a town of 300,000 mostly Afro-Cubans living in concrete high-rises originally built to house Soviet laborers in the 1970s. Working with budgets so small they probably wouldn't be enough to cover the cost of gassing up one of Jay-Z's SUVs, Havana's raperos have scratched their own thriving world out of nothing, much as America's first rappers did in the Bronx in the early 1980s...
...host of this week's MTV Music Video Awards, a ceremony that prizes spontaneous combustion. New York City's Metropolitan Opera House is the venue, so Foxx says he'll open the show with nominated songs sung aria-style. In between introducing performers like Britney Spears, Jay-Z, Staind and U2, says Foxx, his mission is to set the pace and "up the ante." He's also intent on getting an intro to Best New Artist nominee Alicia Keys, though he notes that Best Female Artist contender Missy Elliott is "sure looking fine. You know that song One-Minute...
