...incredibly rich indie rock scene that flourished there in the early ‘90s. Fugazi, with its playfully militant clatterings, are clearly a big influence. On “Emergency & I,” the D.C. area’s noisy, slightly self-righteous sound is tempered by relentless, self-deprecating irony and graceful, charismatic sonic power. “Spider in the Snow”—you’re the spider, by the way—best embodies the album’s alienated tone.

But now Sarkozy is applying that slogan to himself with unexpected literalness...
...seconds into the fourth quarter.Dartmouth responded with a 17-play drive that ended in a one-yard touchdown run from fullback Ryan Mahoney that brought the score to 28-21 with 5:22 remaining in the game.But there was not enough time, and too much pressure from the relentless Harvard defense, for the Big Green to close the gap. Each week there has been a different star in the Crimson secondary. Last Saturday, it was senior cornerback Steven Williams (who also had an interception in the endzone this Saturday, tying him for first on Harvard’s all-time...
