...Ithaca, N.Y. “[The Ivy games are] what we live and die for,” senior co-captain Matt Hoff said. The scoring frenzy began just over 10 minutes after the break with Harvard sitting on a modest 1-0 lead. Hoff got things going by sending a cross from the right side that sliding freshman Alex Chi was able to poke in for the score. The goal was Chi’s second in as many games and his third of the year. Finding itself in a 2-0 hole, Cornell initiated a comeback, scoring...
...that, as you can guess by now, was acting, as my wife Mary and I instantly realized when we met George in the '90s. The man was a pussycat, warm and modest, his strong opinions on politics and the performing arts mediated by a Southern affability. On stage he was master of the quiet revelation of cosmic disappointment - the existential wince - but when the makeup came off he gave every evidence of enjoying his time on earth: spinning anecdotes about the actors and playwrights he knew, or devouring a Bay's English muffin, or working on his flower and vegetable...

...long lost love. The clubbers and sidemen swing along as Kingston sings: “Why’d you have to go-oh?” Scenes flash between a club stage and the streets where Kingston entertains not just one, but fifteen girls dressed in the same modest outfit. A splitscreen view reveals several Kingstons simultaneously macking, and he walks arm-in-arm with his ever-changing girlfriends around town. The multiple panels reinforce how much happiness Kingston derives from each of his girlfriends, but also leaves the viewer weirded out by his identically-clad dates...
