...mind, Harvard did just that. The Crimson golfers picked up where they had left off the day before—this time in the sun rather than the rain—and defeated the rest of the field on their way to the team’s third straight tournament victory. Harvard’s 301 placed them four strokes ahead of the University of Texas at San Antonio in second place, and 10 strokes better than Yale, its closest Ivy League competitor.

Penn notched three shots on goal in the opening minutes, all of which were stopped by senior goaltender Kylie Stone.

As the troubled 17-year-old Alan Strang, he holds his compact, still-smallish body straight and still, his hands thrust down at his side - a polite, almost stolid youth who, as his story unfolds through the prodding of the psychiatrist tasked with finding the motivation for his horrific crime, is transported into religio-sexual ecstasy in the presence of his equine gods. In a Broadway season when neophytes from Katie Holmes to Cedric...

Moments of “passion” and revelation in the movie are met with lines of dialogue that could have been taken straight out of a contemporary soap opera, with liberal dashes of 18th century language, of course. We are expected to sympathize with Georgiana, because, as she says, “All my life, I have been fighting my way upstream.” Such clichés are only met with others like it, including...
