...reason to get too worked up about yesterday’s defeat. It was a non-conference game. It was a Wednesday afternoon game following a several-day layoff. Harvard’s 1-2 start thus far, beating Vermont, and losing to UConn and New Hampshire, is on par with last season. Beating UConn was not the primary goal of the Crimson’s season...

...into its burlesque of drums and distorted guitar. Cannier still is the band's use of costumes at a time when metal is dominated by average dudes in sweatshirts. The band's macabre looks, like its hyperbolic lyrics, suggest the teenage alienation it sings about is a horror on par with the evils depicted in slasher pics--which is how teenagers see it too.

...recession, and probably a few others. But thanks to the stolid materialism of the U.S. consumer, who accounts for two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, the U.S. on the whole can still call this thing a slowdown, or as Alan Greenspan likes to call it, "a period of sub-par growth." Both of which are much nicer terms - and both of which are likely be the terms du jour well into 2002. And that?s if the consumers keep bailing...
