...question won with a strong finish. The Raccoon showed himself to be a voracious eater at the outset, but when the going got tough, he had trouble eating the final pancakes and was not still enjoying them as the rest of us were. He crawled across the finish line in a manner hardly befitting a champion...
...said, "it doesn't matter." She asked me what I thought about death. I dodged the question. I could have given her the drop-going-back-to-the-ocean line, but I mostly wanted her to talk about it. Besides, all that trippy theorizing and intellectual speculation about death is, after all, pretty shallow compared with the feeling you get at the most unlikely moments that you, too, are going home to that big ocean one of these days.

...terms of raw talent, the Eagles can't quite match Harvard, B. C. has only one line that can skate with the Crimson, an untested and shallow defense, and instability in the goal. But it has the ability to throw Harvard off its style and there is always the Snooker fight talk. It may just be another overtime game...
