...bench was razor-sharp. Marshall had researched every related case.' But there's a certain exquisite pleasure in being skinned alive." Jonathan A. Schur '75, an appellee oralist, said last night...
Outrageous! is, to a larger extent than most of today's movies, an actor's film.

From any angle, in the open or from behind a screen of players, a shooter fires and the rock-hard puck hums toward the goalie at more than 100 m.p.h. He has less than a second to react. If he fails, there is no reprieve: the goalie is the last line of defense, the difference between winning and losing...
