...slight, pretty, 20-year-old Canadian named Sylvie Bernier found a new consistency to support her delicate and precise style, and took the lead midway through the competition.

("Divin' is just landin' on your head ten times out of ten," she had said after the preliminary round, in her husky, Dead...

The awesomely ebullient Reynolds has put together a new video and record for fed-up flabbies. It is called Do It Debbie's Way. Says she: "I'm 51, in fairly good condition, and on the road 42 weeks a year...
...people')." In this case it was Harvard's Rob Wheeler who benefited from Crowley's charitable instincts. Crowley fumbled with the puck, vainly trying to get it on the blade of his stick long enough for the Crimson left wing to steal it, dive across the UVM crease and tuck it away, giving Harvard a 4-3 victory in its home opener...
