That game, now the stuff of hockey lore, drew a sellout crowd of 5,167 at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center (DECC)—a far cry from the barely 500 Harvard drew against the No. 1 team in the nation when the Gophers came to town over Thanksgiving break. On the other hand, one must remember that the game last weekend took place when nearly all of the student body had left town...
...theatrical lore, one should never utter the word “Macbeth” in a theater, unless it is during a performance of the play.

Western religions can get a bit more doctrinaire: God has handed us laws and lore, and it's for us to learn and practice what they teach. For a hell-raising species like ours, however--with too much intelligence for our own good and too little discipline to know what to do with it--there have always been other, more utilitarian reasons to get religion...
