...drop out early (or already have) because of a similar flaw. Next is former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney, who, as the son of a former Michigan governor grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, much like Dahl’s Veruca Salt. Romney is definitely the most blue-blooded and aristocratic of all candidates, and has shown a penchant for flip-flopping as the political wind changes, just as the greedy Veruca constantly changed her mind about what she wanted. The loud, brash, and hypercompetitive former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani most resembles Violet Beauregaurde. Consistently exaggerating...
...look at Spillane with the chance to net the game-winning goal during a power play with only five minutes remaining.

Dakota Blue Richards: it sounds like the name of a second-tier rock star's kid. But she's an actual English girl (with an American mother), and a knockout. Her look is both wary and sleepy, as if she'd just been poked awake from a bad dream. There's an intelligent insolence about Richards, suggesting...
...Michael Biega hits Dufault streaking down the center, but Dufault's breakaway shot is stuffed by Spillane, then Harvard gets a slapshot from the blue line that Spillane gloves. Excellent goaltending in that sequence...
