Coach Frank Haggerty, entering his 18th season at the helm, understands that the expected success of this year's team is by no means guaranteed. "As Niels Bohr discovered, predictions are very difficult, especially when it comes to the future," Haggerty said. "The possibilities are very good. We could have a very powerful team, but right now we don't. We have to work hard and put forth the effort...
Delaney-Smith, who is in her 18th year as the Crimson coach--the longest current tenure in the Ivy League--has guided Harvard to six Ivy titles and is one conference win away from her 150th Ivy win. Her all-time record...
...addressed some of the most demanding problems facing us in the 21st century--particularly in light of Malthus' 18th century theory that population growth will overpower the planet's ability to sustain itself. Scientific inventions and discoveries ameliorate the problem but not enough to prevent global disaster.

We must all begin to cope with the results of urban sprawl and help prevent the destruction of Earth's ecological balance and the life of our planet...
...titled "Pharaohs of the Sun: Akhenaten, Nefertiti, Tutankhamen," which opens this week at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. Part of the city's eight-month tribute to ancient Egypt (operas, ballet and an IMAX film), it is a unique assemblage of more than 250 objects from Egypt's 18th dynasty, some of which have languished unseen in storerooms and private collections for decades.

With pale men squeezed into 18th century black suits and a perpetual mist clouding the nights sky, this film is shot in color; it just feels black and white. Filmed at an artificial set in a small town in England, Sleepy Hollow is overwhelmingly gray. It takes some getting used to, as all of Burtons fantasies do, but after about ten minutes of acclimation, the setting takes shape, and you come to appreciate the brilliant construction of the town and the landscape. Corn fields shrink in the shadow of freaky-looking scarecrows...
