...game at the Bright Center, Princeton scored six goals. “They have a really explosive offense,” Reese said. “We look for more of a run-and-gun system against them. It’s a matter of being able to play solid defense and take advantage of mistakes they make.” The Princeton attack will test the two freshman blueliners on the ice for Harvard, but last Saturday’s game against Dartmouth was a good initial experience. Jack Christian recorded his first assist, and fellow newcomer Brian McCafferty...
...Used Against U.S. Troops After exhaustive research, congressional investigators have concluded there is no solid evidence that Iraq used nerve gas or mustard gas against U.S.-led troops during the Gulf War. Clinton recently signed a bill to provide aid for the thousands of veterans who have complained of mysterious illnesses since the end of the Gulf War, some of whom have linked their ailments to exposure to poison gas. Although low levels of chemicals that inhibit nerve functioning were found near battle sites, congressional analysts now say these trace amounts could well derive from pesticides, not lethal...
...opening, as if Disney felt like taking self-effacing shots at the Mouse, ala the Dream Works monopoly. The tragedy of “Little” is that Disney was so close. The amazing cast, including Joan Cusack and Steve Zahn, is actually qualified to do solid vocal work, not just be a cool celebrity cameo (I’m looking at you, Katie Couric in “Shark Tale”). But they can’t turn bad lines into good ones. Braff conquers with his delivery and lucks out on having some choice lines with...

He allegedly coated it repeatedly with different blues and greens in multiple textures and directions. But at the end of the day, it’s just a big blue quadrangle with very little to offer outside of the story behind its creation. If a piece can’t transcend its parentage to succeed on its own merits, who needs...
...enormous fugue of laughtrack-driven ecstasy as George collapsed to the floor in his undies or Kramer made a final exit. Not only were all of these developments funny on their own, but when they came together for a magnificent denouement, you appreciated them tenfold. After a very solid episode to begin the fifth season, I felt confident that Larry David’s brilliance had not yet eroded. But the second episode, entitled “The Bowtie,” was very weak--over-populated with incidents in which David is just a little too obnoxious...
