...reverse situation take Winthrop. A rather cozy dining hall, being half submerged underground, it feels small and intimate. The tables are all squeezed up against one another, demanding a rather petite student to safely navigate to a chair with laden tray. And in the soap opera social scene of Winthrop of yesteryear, the cast of characters were designed to wiggle their way between the tables. However randomization has brought football players to Winthrop. And they simply don't fit. They can't get to the seats, and stand around holding their trays, seeming all the more hulking in the small...
...dorm room; males and females pile on couches and crowd together on the floor, yet no textbooks are to be seen and all is ominously silent.

In other words, yes, the much discussed quadruple jump counts. Of the top medal contenders, only two skaters, Kulik and Alexei Yagudin, also a Russian, attempted one, and only Kulik landed his: a perfectly executed quadruple toe loop...
...America struggles to understand the Lewinsky affair, there's a natural temptation to make sense of the drama by reducing it to a clash between individual heroes and villains. And so we have a parade of soap-opera caricatures--the overzealous and partisan prosecutor, the lusty young temptress, the bloodless wife, the philandering husband--all competing for blame in the public...
