...champions," they sang on the bus after winning the Ivy League women's soccer championship Saturday. Today the team with an 11-0 record gets a chance to sing that refrain again, as it hosts unbeaten UMass, whose record stands at 15-0-1, at Soldiers Field with the unofficial New England soccer title at stake...
...thanks for printing Mr. Fried's column. When an introspective, intelligent and talented musician sings from his heart about experiences with love, herion addiction, and with the death of a close friend, it's nice to know that there's enough variety in the world that a critic could call the music "silly."

They're all funny, or at least funny enough...
...ballads that Ross has to sing, on the other hand, have dull lines like "If you believe, within your heart you'll know/ That no one can change the path that you must go." Poor Lena Home, as Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, has to suck this same lyrical lemon when, wearing a gruesome blue good-fairy gown, she floats in a starry, process-shot sky. A huge budget corrupts hugely. By this time the viewer has realized that he can't win, he can't break even, and he must...
