...again-down-again Columbia visits up-again-down-again Cornell in a game I would like to pick as an upset, but reasonably can't. The Lions have improved since their loss to Harvard and have found a sophomore halfback, Paul Burlingame, o take up the slack expected standout Jim O'Connor was leaving. The Ithacans are back at home, shooting to rebound from two straight defeats. The chance of a Big Red runaway exists, but I'll pick it close, 28-24, Cornell...

The tunnel would double as a power generator with water being pumped up during slack hours and running down during hours of peak demand for electricity.

Or take the small but vital moment that trips up so many actresses. Macbeth is reluctant to choose the path of murder and says, "If we should fail--," to which Lady Macbeth replies, "We fail"--two tiny words. The Folio punctuation is no clear guide here. The words admit three groups of interpretation, depending on whether they are regarded as being followed by a question mark, an exclamation point, or a period. Mrs. Siddons, history's most...
