...strokes better than Yale, its closest Ivy League competitor. Junior Claire Sheldon led the way for the Crimson with a 73. Her round included four birdies. She also hit nearly every green in regulation on her way to a fourth-place finish. Freshman Christine Cho (75) put in another solid performance to continue her fast start to her collegiate career. Kabasakalis and senior Emily Balmert (77) rounded off the scoring for Harvard in a very strong day of play. “I think Yale is the best course we play every year, but it’s about...
...galloping that helps Equus rise above its didactic moments. The play's conceit is to have actors playing the horses -wearing wire masks and rising majestically on similarly constructed hoof-like platform shoes.

They are the best team we have played so far, so the pace is higher, the speed of execution is a lot faster. We made some mistakes and they capitalized, but they made us a better team...
...What we see here is a portrait of street life by someone who perceives it with great intensity.” A film Sitney showed by Stan Brakhage also uses upside-down shots along with shifting exposures and motion, while another by Hollis Frampton begins with a solid screen that shifts colors. Neither of these works would have been half as interesting without the anecdotal context Sitney provided. “It’s very difficult to separate direct engagement with the physical world from autobiography,” he said in regard to interpreting the stream-of-consciousness...
