...Readers should be warned, however, that the initial print run suffers from a shockingly sub-par print job. Printed with purple ink on off-white paper, artists who use softer mediums like pencil have had their details either not come through or else had their subtle shades turned into uniform, mushy blobs. The publisher assures me that a second, superior print will arrive in January but copies of the first have already arrived in chain stores (including Amazon) and will not be replaced. You are advised to wait a while before seeking the book out and to avoid getting...
...combination of a good job of defensive playcalling by Dartmouth. We dropped some balls, we missed some throws, we had some penalties, and the combination of those things yielded 10 points instead of probably 17 or 20,” said Murphy of his team’s sub-par first-half output. “You make too many mistakes, we didn’t deserve to have any more points than that...

...three, but when a coach goes four consecutive years without a winning record– much less an Ivy League Championship–in my mind, something needs to be done. There’s no doubt in my mind that the University wouldn’t tolerate two sub-par years for a department by a departmental head, much less four. Harvard prides itself on being one of the very top academic schools in the nation, and the administration clearly believes it has to have the very best people leading the academic departments...
