...competitive. We definitely recruited Will as the goaltender of the future here. He wasn't done anything to date to question that but he's a freshman right now. We're a fortunate that he has a senior to work with a watch and we don't have to thrust him in their right away and have him be the guy. It's a great situation for Will because we can bring him along slowly and play him against the right teams and let him gain his confidence...
...great collaborator, Bob Fosse. In her 70s, Gwen created the musical Fosse, willing his work into immortality through new dancers, not so much teaching as illuminating them, lighting each like a candle, startling and inspiring with a sudden and impossible whirl, a back-arched, hip-winked, sly-smiled thrust of her hands in which each finger had a job and a mind of its own, not so much defying time and gravity as making them seem irrelevant, burnishing the Fosse moves into the classic permanence of a Van Gogh swirl or a Beethoven crescendo.

The thrust of From a Distance might more aptly be defined as a moral, ecological and sociological diagram of the tenuous and destructive relationship between humanity and nature in contemporary society...
...Cattrell plays Samantha Jones, a sexy PR executive who loves to live the high life as much as President Clinton enjoys his cigars. She unabashedly lusts for one-night stands, and, in recent memory, has slept with a munchkin, a guy who pops Viagra for the extra thrust, and a man so large even Samantha feared she would get lockjaw. She cut off her romance with L.A.'s Dildo King--despite his phenomenal size and stamina--because he wanted more than just the sex. It would be safe to call Samantha a slut. On the other hand, she never hesitates...
