...each day, testing the squad’s toughness.“As a team, everyone was playing with intensity and competing hard every match,” said Clayton, who was sidelined with a rotator cuff injury. “[The schedule] was tiring, but it set the tone for the team for the rest of the season.”With its top player out and sophomore Aba Omodele-Lucien hampered by illness, the Crimson found its stride early and benefited from particularly strong play by junior Mike Hayes. The third-year player stayed locked in through...
...soon-to-be-defunct address on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue was perfect for the tone of classy depravity that the magazine tries to project and that made it acceptable to a more sophisticated type of reader who might otherwise be embarrassed to be associated with porn. This is not about the objectification of women, it said, it's about harmless fun. And some good journalism.

The next few minutes are simultaneously hilarious, disturbing, and beautiful, and they aptly set the tone for the rest of the show. An impossible series of limbs reach out from within the drawers to dress each other, light a candle, and pour wine. Finally, Aurélia emerges from the center drawer. It seems too easy to cite Thierrée’s family...
