...ancient at once, her willingness to look backwards setting her apart from her Icelandic contemporary. The poetry of all five songs is astonishing. The text is more complex—at least formally—than even Bob Dylan. Where he weaved stories on an intricate but predictable meter, Newsom spins an ever-evolving sequence of rhyme schemes. In “Emily,” she paints an organic tale of a dying kingdom, and the swoop and pull of the orchestration (arranged by Van Dyke Parks) makes it sound like an apocalyptic dirge from another planet...
...free-spirited flirt who begins the movie in Berlin entertaining the meter-reader and ends in London in the arms of Jack the Ripper, Lulu brings out the worst in all her men - foremost among them a scrofulous pimp who may be her father and a newspaper publisher (Fritz Kortner) and his son (Franz Lederer). She marries the publisher, who becomes enraged on their wedding night and insists she kill herself. The gun goes off, and he's dead. At her trial she's a symphony in black in her widow's weeds, but she's able to flash...
...Sunday, the Crimson beat the Big Red 208-89 and the Big Green by a smaller but still considerable margin of 187.5-109.5. Once again, as they did against Brown, junior Samantha Papadakis and Morgan won their two individual events. Papadakis once again took first in both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events.

Morgan once again dominated in the freestyle events, winning both the 100- and 200-yard freestyle races...
...synchronicity that every head in the venue moved in unison. Indeed, it may be the percussiveness of the Keys that best defines them. One can’t help but be moved by their driving beat, and both are such strong instrumentalists that, as they become possessed by the meter itself, they seem to be calling on some long-lost rhythmic truth. Sounding older, deeper, and more organic than others who’ve borrowed so heavily from the blues, they combine formidable talent with a soulfulness that many find lacking in groups like Led Zeppelin. Auerbach coaxed his myriad...
...touch the wall first in the 50-yard freestyle; sophomore Christi Morriessey came in third. O’Connor nabbed first-place points in the 100-yard butterfly with Morgan coming in the third. In diving, junior Samantha Papadakis dominated the two events of the meet, the 1-meter and 3-meter, winning both by easy point margins. Pipitone placed second in both events, and freshman Caitlin High took third in the 3-meter dive. “I was really excited for [High],” Piptone said. “She has been training really hard...
