...those who don't know the poem. The kingdom of old Hrothgar (voiced and modeled by Anthony Hopkins) is troubled by the predatory sorties of Grendel (Crispin Hellion Glover). Accompanied by his "14 brave thanes," Beowulf (Ray Winstone) comes across the sea to slay the monster and, not incidentally, add another laurel to his own legend. He repels a Grendel attack on Mead Hall, severing the beast's arm. Grendel limps back to his lair, where his mother - she has no name, so we'll call her Grendma - watches him die. When Beowulf discovers the lair, Grendma reveals herself...

Everything that happens in the tea industry, of course, depends on its workers. The Plantation Labor Act of 1951 guarantees not just a minimum wage for workers in tea, coffee and rubber but also housing, education, medical care and drinking water.

Strong unions in India's tea-growing regions have fought to preserve those benefits. Tea-estate workers are paid on average...

...closed for improvements last March, athletes migrated to Hemenway Gymnasium. Students said working out at the TV-outfitted, air-conditioned law school gym fed high expectations for the MAC’s re-opening Tuesday. “I thought they were going to do something with it like add another floor or something crazy like that,” said Shane P.

...loyalty can be retained.The slow but certain saturation of Harvard’s campus with brand names trying to establish themselves in the minds and wallets of college students has raised some eyebrows and a few questions. Are these student representatives a welcome presence on campus, and do they add something valuable to the undergraduate experiences of their peers?Or can it be that they are simply viewed like the young women handing out gum in front of CVS: faceless figures doing the work of impersonal and (ironically enough) generic brand names, adding to the overly commercial feel of college...
