Alex Eldrige barreled down the lane to open the gap to 30-21 for the Minutemen and fellow New Yorker Mike Pyatt discharged a volley of his own to make it 33-21. The half ended with UMass ahead...
...middle of a flight to St. Louis to give a reading. I was reading a New Yorker story that made me think of my mother and all alone in the seat I whispered to her 'I know, Mother, I know.'

Hepburn and Grant are at their comic best, and Howard Hawks' brilliant, fast-paced direction...
