Texas A&M struck just eight minutes into the game. The crisp passing of forwards Juli Goin and Heather Ragsdale allowed the Aggies to weave straight through the Harvard defense. After beating the final defender, Ragsdale took an open shot at point-blank range and drilled the ball past the freshman keeper Durkin...
...most encouraging news was the play of the freshman midfielders, Westfall and Caitlin Fisher. Westfall especially was superb at times, frequently managing to eschew defenders and chip the ball into open territory. At one point she won a loose ball away from a rush of three Aggie players. Still a young player, she drew more criticism from the sidelines than anyone else, which means she is only going to get better...
This fall a new college will open its doors to a crop of freshmen who may never have set foot in a high school. Nearly all will have earned straight A's, but most will never have SAT through a lecture.

Ware's work is languorous but dense, interspersed with tiny print and pictures that force one to crane over it, literally trying to enter the book. Many of the spreads, including the fold-open dust jacket, are crazy quilts, stitched with dotted lines and arrows, as if the very seams were straining to contain the story. "You have to keep turning the book," says New Yorker cartoonist Art Spiegelman, who first nationally published Ware in Raw magazine. "It's a dizzy-making, Oz-like tornado that takes you out of Kansas...
