...captain Verdi DeSesa said. “We beat our ranking coming in, which is what we were looking to do.”NO. 6 ROCHESTER 7, HARVARD 2Rochester (12-6) was vengeful coming into the match, with a 5-4 December loss against the Crimson still vivid in their minds. The Yellowjackets got the last laugh, though, triumphing over Harvard to claim third place.Junior Colin West finished a strong weekend with a 9-1, 9-4, 9-0 drubbing of Rochester’s Jim Bristow, and sophomore Richard Hill earned an additional win for the Crimson...

Most of the disapproval focuses not on what makes the movie weak (the farcical plot and mediocre character development) but on what makes it strong (the gritty emphasis on the desperately poor country that is still modern India...
