...quarterback Terry Wilson to tightend Art "A-OK" O'Keefe combination has maintained an impressive aerial threat throughout the season. The running of explosive halfback Bob Maddox devastated South House in its semi-final match. Offensively, Q-World has little or no-trouble moving the ball all over the gridiron...
Contrary to popular opinion, women's soccer tournaments consist of more than just soccer games. For example, the Harvard squad almost arrived late for Saturday morning's semi-final match at 11 a.m. Manager Liz Wills originally scheduled the team bus for Friday morning but corrected the order to Saturday.

Making myth isn't enough for Coppola, he has to lay bare Evil. But a behemoth--like Marlon Brando, fingering his pate in semi-darkness and blubbering out The Hollow Men isn't Evil. Conrad knew that Evil isn't shown, but alluded to, when he wrote "The horror, the horror". Isn't that why we have myths and symbols after...
