...then, a burst of unscripted laughter. Gilbert and Sullivan might have intended Robin to be a mast-like man among men—but apart from his height, the thin and artsy-looking Morris doesn’t quite fit the bill.He manages to remain in character and swagger a little, puffing up his chest as he smugly replies, “I know well enough that few men are better calculated to win a woman’s heart than I. I’m a fine fellow, Dick.” But his efforts are futile?...

And let me tell you, my friends, the “Juicebox” video has enough bravado to fill a bathtub or two. Over a pilfered bass riff, the video bounces between...
...Hagan, assisted by backup Richard Irvin, led the team up and down the field, scoring six offensive touchdowns.But the real standout plays came from the defense, which added three interceptions and recovered two fumbles.With its third victory in the last four games, Harvard has begun to show that swagger that led it to a 33-6 mark from 2001-2004. But with Brown’s 38-21 victory over Yale and Princeton’s 30-13 win over Penn, hopes of claiming back-to-back Ivy titles are waning. Both Brown and Princeton have to lose at least...
