...make after the opening minutes. Harvard jumped out to a 3-0 advantage less than four minutes into the action, as senior attackmen Evan Calvert and Greg Cohen teamed up to give the Crimson its biggest lead all season. Calvert scored twice in the span of a mere five seconds and assisted on Cohen’s goal en route to a 3-1 lead after a quarter.

But even assuming that one could connect violent shows with, say, violence in children, connecting any specific violent entertainment with any specific result is dubious. Legislation against prime-time violence also may be unconstitutional, but the mere threat may be enough to stifle edgy shows.
