...collegian—second overall—with a time of 8.50. Classmate Geneva Trotter also took seventh in the finals of the event with her time of 8.76.Christensen continued her dominating ways in the high jump, clearing the 1.78-meter bar to win the event outright, while rookie Nicole Sliva and sophomore Jade Randle both cleared 1.52. Sliva made the clearance in fewer attempts, giving her sole 10th-place in the event, while Randle finished in a three-way tie at 11th.“All the high jumpers and the pole vaulters were taking short approaches, so you?...
...plays is not necessary; just about anyone would possess enough knowledge of the basic plot of “Romeo and Juliet” to appreciate that chapter. And this, in a sense, is part of Garber’s overall point. So while Garber tells us outright what she’s going to accomplish in her book, she does anything but spoil the surprise. Each chapter opens another door to our understanding of Shakespeare’s works and thereby the overall influences of literature in our modern culture. It would be unfair to merely say that Garber?...
...runoff will come down to turnout. But all elections come down to turnout, and it's hard to see the path to victory for Martin, a mild-mannered former state legislator and human-resources commissioner who is unusually progressive for a statewide candidate in Georgia.

By mid-November, with the financial crisis growing worse by the day, it had become obvious that one President was no longer enough (at least not the President we had). So, in the days before Thanksgiving, Obama began to move - if not to take charge outright, then at least to preview what things will be like when he does take over in January. He became a more public presence, taking questions from the press three days in a row. He named his economic team. He promised an enormous stimulus package that would somehow create 2.5 million...
...department has come out most strongly against Everett’s arguments, co-writing a paper refuting the validity of almost every point Everett makes about the extraordinary nature of the Pirahã language (“Pirahã Exceptionality: a Reassessment”). Nevins and his co-authors outright repudiate Everett’s claims about the absence of embedding—which includes, among other things, the use of relative clauses—in Pirahã. The critics also draw parallels to other cultures in realms where Everett argues the Pirahã are unique, such...
