...risen to 3.68, and his wild, get-me-the-Maalox style has backfired on several occasions. In fairness to Tracy, on some weekends the Crimson defense hasn't given him as much support as it has Israel, and his form has been better of late. But Harvard needs two top-notch net-minders if it wants to make any significant playoff noise, and Tracy will admit that he's got some work to do if he's to find that old magic (circa Beanpot, 1993) again...
Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks) is a lawyer in a top-notch white-shoe law firm in Philadelphia. He is portrayed as a competent, serious lawyer who knows the intricacies of the law as well as he knows about the T-cells and platelet counts in his blood.

...says a judge who knows her, and she did not fall prey to what had stopped women for so long -- the sense that it was one thing to be the smartest student in the class but another to have that undefinable something men insist it takes to be a top-notch lawyer. She did not think her early success was a fluke nor exclusion her fate, and this most unlikely of firebrands took one of the few clerkships offered, for a district court judge in New York. She went on to teach at Rutgers while litigating sex-discrimination cases...
