Last week, the offense struck for two long scoring plays, a 45-yard bomb and a 62-yard reverse by sophomore wide receiver Terence Patterson. This could be a sign that the effective Crimson running game is making defenses overcommit to the line of scrimmage...
...anything, though, The Heiress has, on stage and film, struck a deeper popular nerve than more direct translations of James's story. Its 1947 Broadway debut was a rousing success, William Wyler's 1949 film adaptation won an Oscar for Olivia de Havilland, and 1994's Broadway sell-out revival won a trove of Tonys.

It is a walker's museum, full of variegated spaces, points of rest, vistas, curves and a continual respiration between inside and outside...
