We’re hoping future minis will follow the trend of Moore’s Law, halving in size every year until finally they’re no larger than a microchip. Once this is achieved, the Lampoon will be able to make the claim that they’ve gone “digital,” at least from my understanding of computers. There have been...

Rudolph's housing unit resonates with the constant mechanical whir and clank of electronic gates, punctuated by the sound of inmates praying, wailing and shouting conversations in English and Arabic through...
...Both coach and teammates are already singing Richter’s praises. “Kyle has a chance to be a big-time goaltender and has a chance to compete for the starting job from day one,” Donato says. “[He has] good size, great athleticism, [and he] put up great numbers.” Rounding out the Crimson goaltending quartet are sophomore Mike Coskren—a Massachusetts native who saw two minutes of ice time last season—and rookie John Riley, a veteran of Team Illinois. Donato has relied...
