...team started to get on the right track after opening the season with a meager 4-14 record. The two wins against nonconference opponent Fairfield sparked a winning streak that extended into conference play, with the Crimson taking the first two games of the Ivy season against Princeton—the first on the strength of sophomore Rachel Brown’s first career no-hitter...

Despite its share of grumbling about corrupt politicians, Agrarian Utopia quickly moves beyond some heavy-handed message movie toward Buddhist meditation. Uruphong's oppressed peasants are as much victims of their own restlessness as they are of meager rice prices. With a poet's eye, the sights and sounds of their close-to-nature existence are transformed into sources of comfort...
