...hand often. Tonight, [Rivier] couldn’t stop Brady. If we could’ve passed off and given the ball to Brady more often, we could have been even quicker tonight.” The Crimson hoped to complete the match in three successive games but a valiant effort from the Raiders in game three forced an ultimately decisive fourth game. Senior middle hitter Andy Nelson started the third game serving up a multitude of vigorous attacks, racking up three of his 14 total kills and an ace within the first few minutes. After holding a steady lead...
...Beauty and the Beast.” Sound interesting? It could have been, but instead, we’re given Kidman’s attempt to reprise her wonderfully restrained, Oscar-winning turn as Virginia Woolf in “The Hours”—a valiant effort, to be sure, but an unsuccessful one. And then there is Arbus, whose fascinatingly strange photographs you will sadly not see in this film.

...dependable back to shift momentum in Harvard’s favor. The Crimson went to Dawson just seven times in the second half, and he added only 19 yards to his game total.The day marked the first time this season Dawson went scoreless.Dawson’s valiant effort is marred by the loss that sets the team back in the Ivy League race.As Marinaro has said, the great accomplishment of that 1971 season is that he not only set the record, but also won an Ancient Eight championship.With the loss, Harvard drops into third place behind Princeton and Yale...

It’s a beautiful film, but the cat’s got Iñárritu?...
Hero? I was feeling anything but valiant. Mangled. Pitiful. Disoriented. Scared. I was anxious about my ability to work again with one hand and to parent my children, who lived with me half-time in Washington. My son Skyler was 11 years old, the same age I had been when my father, a workaholic community newspaper publisher, dropped dead of a heart attack. Olivia was 8, roughly as old as my sister had been. I couldn't bear to think I might let such wrenching family history repeat itself...
