...captain Margaux Black’s 4.2 innings of scoreless relief, the Crimson returned the favor in the nightcap, coming home with the 7-6 victory—and the early lead in the Ivy League North...
...Third, Bubo. C'mon, guys, this whistling clockwork owl was one of Harryhausen's lesser concoctions. Offering comic relief to the 1981 film's solemnity, Bubo was a figure of George Lucas-like whimsy: the echo of R2D2, precursor to Jar Jar Binks. At the end, a wandering poet (Burgess Meredith) says that Perseus' achievements might inspire him to write a play, and when Bubo starts clucking he says comfortingly, "Oh, don't worry, I won't leave you out."

The reason bluefin became the go-to fish for chefs from Tokyo to Tampa is that it tastes so good - and more important, from the point of view of restaurant owners, because it looks so good. What self-respecting sushi restaurant would be caught without a thick ruby slab of tuna under its sneeze guard? How would unimaginative hotel chefs provide their guests with poolside tartare platters if they couldn...
