That's when captain Jen Jose (6 k, 4 blocks) called her team in and gave them some words of inspiration. Harvard immediately got the side out, and proceeded to rip off the last three points of the game, behind the serve of--who else--Jen Jose. The final point came on a tremendous kill by Sarah Logan (7 k, 2 bl.). That's what leadership is all about; that's what heart is all about; that's what this team is all about...

...year, but they come back to finish up those last three credits, and do you know why? Because they'd be afraid to look Joe in the eye if they didn't. Other schools have graduation rates of 30 or 40 percent. It's a sin; it's a rip-off. It gives me a pit in my stomach to think about what goes on elsewhere...

...most offensive segments poses a young man alone, his face in that numb, deadened look associated with films that can be bought only in an adult bookstore. A man off-camera says, "You got a real nice look. How old are you? Are you strong? You think you could rip that shirt off of you? That's a real nice body. You work out? I can tell...
