...Waller: The outside witnesses are going to continue for a while. [Vermont senator Patrick] Leahy, who is chairman of the committee until this weekend, is saying the hearings will go through Friday, but Orrin Hatch [who will take over as chairman] wants to wrap things up. He's angry that Leahy scheduled outside witnesses in the first place - if he had been in charge, Thursday's testimony wouldn?t have happened...
...However, take a quick glance around the ECAC from Saturday night and one realizes that nobody is. The three teams that stand the most realistic shot of catching the Crimson: Dartmouth dumped No. 15 Cornell 4-1. No. 13 Rensselaer beat St. Lawrence 6-4. And Colgate skated by Vermont 3-2 in overtime. None of the ECAC teams listed above are without substantial flaws. Overall, St. Lawrence and Cornell are probably the most polished and will get stronger down the stretch. Still, both teams have goaltending questions and the Saints rely too heavily on their top line for offense...
...points, in front of surging Dartmouth by eight and in front of the Saints by nine. Even if one of these teams wins out their games in hand, the most Harvard will trail is by four points.

This is an extraordinary position, especially considering the struggles Harvard has had on the blueline this season and the overall youth on this team. The Crimson has eight conference wins so far; it had nine all of last year. If it goes just 5-5 the rest of the way, Harvard...
...rights. As the committee members made their opening statements, an unintelligible protester shouted briefly before being carted off by Capitol police, and it looked like fireworks weren't too far off. P> They even threatened to explode once or twice as committee chairman Patrick Leahy, Democrat from Vermont, and ranking minority member Orrin Hatch, Republican of Utah, bared their teeth at each other over procedure and the reputation of their respective parties...
...invading army of a movie crew occupies a Vermont town. Pinwheeling with the crackle and congestion of a Preston Sturges farce, Mamet's fastest, funniest script gives sharp lines ("That's not a lie; that's a gift for fiction") and wild invective ("I'm gonna tear out your heart and piss on your lungs through the hole in the chest") to a cast that feasts on the dialogue like an old-time studio boss on a starlet's plump naivete. Hail to Alec Baldwin, Sarah Jessica Parker, William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, David Paymer and the other confectors...
