...rare vampire novel that isn't about sex on some level, and the Twilight books are no exception. What makes Meyer's books so distinctive is that they're about the erotics of abstinence. Their tension comes from prolonged, superhuman acts of self-restraint. There's a scene midway through Twilight in which, for the first time, Edward leans in close and sniffs the aroma of Bella's exposed neck. "Just because I'm resisting the wine doesn't mean I can't appreciate the bouquet," he says. "You have a very floral smell, like lavender ... or freesia." He barely...
...faceoffs while the Crimson committed eight turnovers and managed only 2-of-6 clears. The result was constant pressure on Harvard’s defense. Although Crimson goaltender Joe Pike did his best to stave off the Princeton attack, the Tigers cut the lead to 7-6 midway through the period.

...very dangerous offensive team, and we just kept giving them too many opportunities,” Tillman said.The last opportunity came in overtime, when the Crimson held the ball for the opening two minutes of the extra period but produced just one shot. When the Pioneers caused a turnover midway through the extra frame, it took Denver only a minute to notch the game-winner, when Cliff Smith’s perimeter shot found the back of the net, sending the Pioneer bench onto the field in a frenzied celebration.“All that matters is the wins...
