...women playing two. The women and men took turns on the field and shared responsibility for the victory over Myopia. The Harvard Polo Club was fresh from a retreat in San Saba, Texas, where they spent a week training on the ranch of the polo aficionado and actor Tommy Lee Jones ’69. The club plans to compete against Yale, Cornell, Skidmore College, the University of Connecticut, and possibly some other teams in the upcoming school year. —Staff writer Joshua J.

Germany appears to like Tom Cruise after all. Earlier this year, the government barred the U.S. actor from filming at a sensitive historical site apparently because of his membership in the Church of Scientology, which the German government considers a cult. But now officials have changed their minds. Cruise's film company is making a movie tentatively titled Valkyrie, about a German officer who tried to assassinate Hitler. The film can now include several scenes shot at the so-called "Bendler Block," a building complex in central Berlin where the officer was executed. Defense Ministry spokesman Thomas Raabe told reporters...
...There, they're not him: the six actors who impersonate some aspect of Dylan. The young, Minnesota Bob is played by a charming black kid, Marcus Carl Franklin, who gives every indication of being a blues-guitar prodigy. A 19-year-old Dylan, spouting aphorisms at a court hearing, is London stage actor Ben Whishaw. Blanchett plays prime-time Bob, the electrified folk-rock star who's getting annoyed by fame. The '70s, counterfeit-cowboy Dylan is Richard Gere. The movie leaps further into fancy by inventing Jake Rollins (Christian Bale), the Dylan character in a Hollywoodish '60s biopic called...
Though the plot is the same 10 years later, a different actor is playing the lead. In 1997, Asian countries sent ripples through the global financial system, beginning with Thailand's devaluation of the baht after a collapse of the nation's real estate bubble. In 2007, it is the U.S. and its subprime mortgage borrowers causing the greatest disturbance in credit markets in a decade. At the root of the turmoil is aggressive lending to American home buyers who previously were unable to obtain credit. Financial engineers pooled these loans together and sold off pieces representing different presumed levels...
...leading Republican contenders are a Mormon from Massachusetts, a pro-choice New Yorker and a late-starting TV actor. Some Protestant churches teach that Mormonism is a cult. No pro-choice candidate has been able to compete seriously for the GOP nomination since 1980. No one has gone straight from the studio to the presidency (Ronald Reagan had long ago given up his acting career and had served two terms as Governor of California). This is a very unusual bunch of Republican front runners...
