...icewomen cut through the February morass and lit up Bright Hockey Center for the Beanpot Championship. Harvard bounced into the finals against Northeastern and its five game Harvard winning streak with a 3-2 victory over Boston College...
...this morass of motive, the common element is place. All characters in the novel, innocent or guilty, are tied to Innocent House. As always, James' descriptions are elaborate, elegant, and evocative--they hypnotize the unsuspecting reader. Several of her earlier novels are set in hospitals or clinics, close bound communities associated with death or abnormality. Innocent House provides a less obviously macabre setting.

The aural tricks that seemed so daring on earlier Pink Floyd disks -- running footsteps, echoing guitars -- are now impossibly dated and predictable. Even worse are the lyrics, which rarely rise above the sentiments of a greeting card. "Her love rains down on me easy as the breeze," guitarist David Gilmour sings on Take It Back. "I listen to her breathing it sounds like the waves on the sea." Only Keep Talking, propelled by interlocking guitars, manages...
