We got the documentary, Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 from Netflix. It's certainly worth watching -- the game itself was amazing, but it's also a trip back to the 60's.

I'm reading the book Columbine, by David Cullen. I know that I read a review of it that made me want to read it -- it's kind of out of character for me. I certainly don't feel that I want to know more about it, but on the other hand, the book shows that if all you did was rely on media reporting, you wouldn't know much of the truth at all. It was all kind of like the old game of telephone, with a scattering of prejudices, knee-jerk conclusions, fears all throw into the soup. It's not a book about what a bad job the media did, per se -- it's more about the human reaction to such events. The police blew all kinds of things but had to make so many decisions in the heat of the moment and were working with little to no information, the media find a story that resonates and stick with it even if it's proved inaccurate, and "witnesses" started to parrot what they heard in the media rather than what they really saw, so inaccuracies all of a sudden became witness testimony. I'm not finished with it yet, but I think it's an interesting read.
