Then Ruggiero almost single-handedly shut down the UNH offense, and Harvard's vaunted top line began to dominate the action as the Crimson outshot the Wildcats, 20-6, in the second. Harvard even managed a few shorthanded shots after a roughing penalty against Francisco. It was a stark contrast from the first period, when UNH's power-play unit scored twice...
...quick rescue of the pilot gladdened Pentagon hearts, but the downing remained a reminder that air power, despite its omnipotent, high-tech gloss, does have stark limits. Whether it was the sleek $2 billion radar-eluding B-2 Stealth bomber or the hulking, duct-taped $74 million B-52 pulverizing Serbian targets last week, the essential character of air warfare didn't change: air power, old or new, can always punish a foe but can rarely force him to change his mind.

These sterile contexts do not detract from the beauty of the flowers but instead contrast that beauty, making it suddenly strange. Each lobby also features an office functionary, frozen in the photographic frame, standing in stark Hopper-like profile. Baring her camera in the sterility of corporate urbanity...
