...expect corporate dirty tricks at the root of Arthur's frayed mental state. The two men will find ruthless adversaries both in the corporation's chief counsel (British actress Tilda Swinton, superbly on-pitch as always) and in their own firm's steely partner (Sydney Pollack, extending his streak of likably slimy plutocrats). The game is dangerous; it may be fatal...
Last year, it took a tough overtime comeback for New Hampshire to end Harvard’s four-game series winning streak. The Crimson (1-1) reclaimed the series against the Wildcats (2-2) last night in a 3-2 decision with an explosive second half.

After mediocre showings in his first few games, Wilson went on a tear, bringing a seven-game hitting streak into Helena’s July 14 game against the Casper Rockies. In his first at-bat, he smashed a two-run shot over the left field wall for his first professional home run. The next day, he hit two more longballs. By the time July came to a close, Wilson had established himself as a power threat and a mainstay in the Brewers lineup, finishing up the month batting...
