...Brown yesterday afternoon.Though Harvard (6-2-0, 5-2-0 ECAC) seemed to get its chances on net against the Bulldogs (0-6-0, 0-6-0), firing eight shots in four extra-strength opportunities, the Crimson skaters were unable to find the back of the net.This stood in stark contrast to last Tuesday night’s contest against Boston College, when Harvard tallied three goals on the same number of shots.The Crimson also allowed its first shorthanded goal of the season against Yale, when Bulldog captain Christian Jensen took a feed from linemate Jeff Hristovski...
...shucking local oysters again, Daiquiri's is churning out its signature alcoholic slushies, and Mardi Gras masks are once again on sale. But drive north toward the hurricane-ravaged housing subdivisions off Lake Pontchartrain and the masks you see aren't made for Carnival. They are industrial-strength respirators, stark and white, the only things capable of stopping a stench that turns the stomach and dredges up bad memories of a night nearly three months ago. Most disasters come and go in a neat arc of calamity, followed by anger at the slow response, then cleanup. But Katrina...

Photographs of his battered corpse -- iced to keep it from decomposing in order to hide the true circumstances of his dying -- were among the many made public in the spring of 2004, raising stark questions about America's treatment of enemy detainees. For most of the horrors shown in those Abu Ghraib photographs, there has been some accounting. Although no officers were court-martialed, a soldier who held a prisoner on a leash got three years in prison; another who repeatedly hit detainees...
...liquor. The characters chatter, confess, and flail freely about the confines of these props while also remaining under their influence. From the resigned and self-pitying Masha (Lillian Ritchie ’08) to the quietly desperate Paulina (Shannon Parvis), all the characters struggle within the stark physical boundaries provided. Only the successful Dr. Dorn (Paul P. Linden-Retek ’08) seems comfortable, a sign of his self-assured confidence...
