...country must prepare itself for the kind of war we've never had before, and if we're going to be ready, we're going to have to start getting ready soon," Doyle said...
Finally, the article is inaccurate. Doctoroff claims that the "historic" animosity between the men's and women's programs has been fueled by the dislike between the two coaches. The animosity is historic; four years ago when I started swimming at Harvard, the two squads were barely civil to each other. Since Coach Bernal has been here, the relationship has improved.

Suddenly, and with only the slightest motivation, the protagonist is afflicted by marital conflict, pill addiction, desperate loneliness and a nervous collapse. True, these tragedies happened in life, but in the movie they seem phony: Lynn's later personal traumas are not so much dramatized as displayed like flash cards for predictable audience...
