...flyer and the HUPD advisory addressed an attempted kidnapping that occurred on March 9. The HUPD advisory warned Harvard community members of a Hispanic suspect in his late 20s who was driving a Honda sedan when he allegedly attempted to force a woman into his car at about 2 a.m. by brandishing a fake gun but fled when a Kennedy School of Government guard arrived...
...experimental side of things, the experiment in form, happened in the 20s with Eisenstein and the other Russians did a lot of experimenting.

There are plenty of comedies about failure (see Free Ride, below). The Loop is about the problems of success: Sam (Bret Harrison, near right) is an airline exec in his 20s whose roommates' idea of a big deadline is still last call at the bar. The jokes can be broad (e.g., the airline starts an offshoot called Jack; if you can't guess where the dirty puns go from there, you don't watch much Fox). But Harrison shows Topher Gracean charm as a guy stuck between adolescence and adulthood, and Philip Baker Hall (Magnolia) steals every scene...
