...like a pickpocket with a great eye for fat wallets. But he doesn't add anything. (As TIME Theater critic Ted Kalem said of Cats back in 1982: "You'll leave the theater humming other people's better songs.") That's a shame, because Korie has a knack for clever lyrics; I'd never heard eunuch and Punic rhymed before. For the "Drift Away" bridge he conjures a lovely wistfulness - "Our tete-a-tetes, midnight duets, / Our breakfast tea and toast, / Funny how things that mean the least/ Are what we'll miss the most" - that approaches the pop poetry...
Last season, the Harvard women’s basketball team grew accustomed to the late-game heroics of guard Laura Robinson ’06.From the point guard spot, Robinson kept the Crimson in close games with a knack for getting into the lane, drawing contact, and nailing last-second free throws.But she graduated in June with fellow backcourt teammate Jessica Holsey ’06, and the duo’s departure leaves big shoes for a young Harvard backcourt to fill—especially if the Crimson hopes to challenge for the Ivy Title this year...

Bill won a Super Bowl, while Cowher’s Tigers fell to Dartmouth in the Ivy playoff. Cowher returns...
ITHACA, N.Y.—Much like Michael Jordan repeatedly saved his best for the Utah Jazz, Cornell blueliner Doug Krantz is developing a knack for crushing the spirits of the Harvard men’s hockey team. In many ways, the Crimson’s late collapse in Friday’s 3-2 defeat could be compared to Harvard’s 4-3 loss to the Big Red on November 11, 2005—almost exactly a year ago. In both games, the Crimson held a late lead. On Friday, senior Kevin Du potted a power-play...
