Shortbus, which opens today in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and in other cities next week, is a sweet, very funny, volcanically romantic comedy-drama about relationships in post-9/11 New York City. It could slip comfily into any slot at the Sundance Film Festival, or the art-house screen at your local multiplex, except for one thing: it has lots of explicit, hard-core...

However, the Rams seized the lead ten minutes into the game when Rhode Island forward Lauren Forgione took advantage of a Crimson miscommunication to slip past the defense and give the Rams a 1-0 lead. Down a goal early, the Crimson defense unraveled, allowing a second goal within a minute of the first. “From the beginning of warm-ups, we had set a goal for ourselves to come out with intensity,” said junior...
