...Host is itself a bizarre hybrid: both a popular hit (South Korea's all-time box-office champ) and a critics' choice, having played to acclaim at the Cannes and New York festivals. The film's plot is also pretty splitty: part old-time sea- or sewer-mutant movie in the tradition of Godzilla and Them! and part trigenerational comedy-drama about a weird family--sort of a Little Miss Korean Sunshine. The difference is that instead of a dead old man in the van, the Park family has a little girl (Ko A-sung) missing in the belly...
Harvard has unveiled to much acclaim the proposed Institutional Master Plan for its Allston campus. But I wonder where the community master plan is. Harvard has to its credit begun to plan a “green campus” in Allston. Where is the planning to make Allston/Brighton a “green community”? So much good could come of a real partnership, where Allston extends to Harvard a neighborly hand, and Harvard helps create the urban fabric and the open space, the properly scaled campus and the cultural resources that will make Allston attractive to residents...
...suit, no matter how handsome, cannot suspend the reality that a military junta, called the Council for National Security (CNS), now runs the country. The CNS ousted elected Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra last Sept. 19. At first, the overthrow of the billionaire P.M. was greeted with much public acclaim.

Although the junta promised to restore stability to Thailand after months of anti-Thaksin street protests, bombs erupted in the capital on New Year's Eve, and violence in the country's largely...
Were former Harvard professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow alive today, he would have 200 candles to blow out on his very large birthday cake. Even before the famous poet earned worldwide acclaim for his romantic verses, he taught foreign languages at Harvard and schmoozed with the Cambridge literati of the day. Thus his birthday is garnering special attention on campus, as well as across the city and the nation. A LONG LEGACY Succeeding George Ticknor, Longfellow became the second Smith professor of modern languages in 1836 and laid much of the foundation for comparative language study at Harvard. He often battled...
...histories, to attempt to imagine what ancestors’ worlds and experiences might have been like and what they might have to do with one’s own life.The same has apparently happened to Alice Munro. Munro, whose collections of intimate, thoughtful short stories have earned her vast acclaim, explains in the introduction to her newest—and potentially last—collection, “The View From Castle Rock,” that someone in every generation of her family has had a habit of writing long, detailed letters or journals. Moved by these records, Munro...
