Behind 19 points and 11 assists from senior All-American Christy smith, a relentless press and unconscious three-point shooting, the Arkansas Lady Razorbacks (20-10, 7-7 SEC) bounced Harvard (23-5, 12-2 Ivy) from the NCAA Tournament, 82-64, last night at Maples Pavilion in Palo Alto...
...Lippman, the creators of Party of Five, has been to understand the entertainment value of emotional pain. The show is about a family of five orphans and it features enough heavy talk and tragedy to sustain an A.A. chapter.

Cline also makes an effort to tie together the various threads running through Hall's life and work.

California cliff and canyon dwellers might as well get ready for more devastation. Up and down the coastline, hundreds of hillsides are starting to slump and slide. And the reason, say experts, is simple. Weeks of relentless rain have saturated not just the top few inches of soil but also underlying layers of bedrock, causing structural weakening deep down. By itself, waterlogged ground is a nuisance. Combined with California's mountainous terrain, says Doug Morton of the U.S. Geological Survey in Riverside, Calif., it can very quickly add up to disaster. Imagine living on the edge of a steep, quivering...
