...Harvard, those bunches came in the fourth. Two full weeks of rest and a season on the line inspired the Crimson to arguably its best quarter of the season.Freshman Bret Voith singlehandedly torched the Blue Jays defense, scoring three of the last four goals of the game, including a spectacular display of strength where he broke away from a defender and successfully launched a point-blank shot to give Harvard an 8-6 lead.“Voith just took over,” Farrar said. “He had some great working-class, blue-collar type of goals...
That's right: there's a company for every five residents in quaint little Zug and the compact canton that surrounds it. These companies' executives are no doubt impressed by the same attractions that lure tourists in summer and winter alike: the town's spectacular lakeside setting with the Alps towering in the distance.

Later, Nick sends Fred a note: "I'm sorry I cut down your...

He told a reporter for The New York Observer last month that “the whole point [is] to not be too in-your-face or condescending”—to present your argument simply, without over-simplifying.Ross manages the spectacular feat of making this crazy music seem logical by taking a modular approach. Rather than trying to pack every opera, symphony, and concert into one narrative, he subdivides relentlessly and then assembles and reassembles the pieces to suit his arguments.
