...Casitas Volcano in Nicaragua's mountainous northwest, Mitch was the apocalypse. Close to noon on Oct. 30, after the hurricane had dumped three days of rain into Casitas's crater, the mountainside burst with what villagers described as the angry roar of a jetliner. It hurled mud, water and rock onto Posoltega's rooftops, "a terrible, towering wall that just fell out of the clouds," says Santo Diaz, 24. Diaz gathered his elderly father, mother, sister and two brothers to escape--but the avalanche claimed them. He was still clutching their hands as they were buried alive...
When your acting debut involves playing a deaf, dumb and blind pinball wizard in the first-ever rock opera, what do you do for an encore?

The arena-rock album version was sometimes misinterpreted as a jingoistic anthem, but there's no mistaking the bitterness and disillusionment in this sparer take. The set is also adorned with such previously unheard gems as the rousing Santa Ana and the sublime ballad Sad Eyes...
Defensively, the Crimson is rock-solid as usual. Leading the charge are the team's two First Team All-Ivy selections, senior Jaime Chu and junior Jessica Larson. Larson was a presence in the backfield for the Crimson all season, while Chu is Harvard's best man-to-man defender...
