...Something similar happens at the start of "Closer," the funny, hurtful, splendidly acted new film written by Patrick Marber and directed by Mike Nichols. The movie's Dan (Jude Law) has better luck than my friend Steve; fates conspire to put a beautiful stranger in his arms on a London street. He's been stalking, or just appreciatively lurking after, young Alice (Natalie Portman), who's clearly aware of her seductive appeal. Suddenly, she gets hit by a vehicle. Solicitous Dan leaps into action and Galahads her into a cab. (Man, the indefatigable pursuer!) They've just...
...this is in Marber's 1997 play, which the film follows closely - nearly as faithfully as Nichols attended to "Virginia Woolf" (when, famously, only 18 words were added to the play script, and a few words taken out).

With the Terriers caught out of position, Cavanagh pushed on net to draw the defense, then slid the puck diagonally across the crease onto freshman Mike Taylor’s tape at the far post. Curry had no play on the Maple Grove, Minn., native’s one-timer—Taylor’s first collegiate goal and the eventual game-winning score—at 3:51, just 31 seconds after Pelle’s tally...
Ogunwole defeated Jamie Nagel of Lock Haven. 11-4. and Penn State’s C.J. Wonsetter, 5-0, before losing to Curl. Prior to his bout with Weibel, Corl dominated Mike Spaid from Bloomburg University 10-2 and topped another Lock Haven wrestler, Tim Meyers...
