...COSMO--THEY sit on the supermarket racks while I zoom through the express lane. Sure, I used to peruse the pages of Seventeen during slumber parties--but I never bought my own subscription. Magazines like these, I thought, just market insecurity. Feeling unattractive? All you need is that new shade of lipstick from L'Oreal. Boyfriend not treating you right?

Though some of these folks shade into their 30s, all act like teenagers. The movie is set on Christmas Eve, but emotionally it's Mischief Night, when kids will do anything for the freewheeling hell of it. They fool around as if there were no tomorrow, not caring that tomorrow is...Halloween...
SUMMARY: At the highest levels of competition, Brown plays a very simple game--defense. Opponents only averaged 1.21 goals per game against it, final four teams a shade over 2.00. Mounsey leads a stalwart corps, half of which earned All-Ivy honors...
