...Lions are off to a roaring 2-0 start, albeit against doormats Fordham and Georgetown, with Norries Wilson at the helm. Against the Hoyas last Saturday, Hormann took care of the football, attempting 25 passes without a pick, as Columbia took a 20-0 lead in the third quarter in an eventual 23-20 win. An added boon, kicker Jon Rocholl connected twice from long distance, making 41- and 45-yard field goals...
...meandering to be considered dance, but still far too beat-driven to be mistaken for anything too experimental. Drum machines and synthesizers dominate, giving the album an icy and Continental feel. But there are enough vocal hooks strung along the moonscape that it is still recognizable as pop, albeit a kind bound not to get much play on radios stateside. It’s a record so weird and original that there’s no context for which it would be wholly appropriate, except maybe Halloween. The vocals are so heavily processed throughout that the singers never sound human?...
...total shots—nine in the second half—besting the Crimson’s shot total in each half by five and four, respectively. As a team, the well-balanced play of the experienced players combined with the energy of the freshman led to exciting chances, albeit none that in the end changed the final outcome of the game. Altchek led the team with two shots on net, but the Crimson were also sparked by the play of two freshmen as Desmond Mitchell provided a late shot on goal and Akpan provided the assist for Harvard?...
...program “Survivor: Jim Crow South” is not a real TV show. Instead it remains merely an inspired concept, just like that show “Tiny House” (which millions were upset to learn was actually a clever Geico ad). Unfortunately, a similar, albeit toned-down, version of it just premiered last Thursday on CBS. The new show “Survivor: Cook Islands” is about as politically correct as the first draft of Khatami’s forum speech, before he remembered that lying is sometimes a good rhetorical tool. Although...
...wasn't exactly the G-8. Still, when Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev hosted a summit of heads of neighboring Central Asian states in his capital of Astana earlier this month, there was a certain whiff of power being flexed, albeit arriviste power. The occasion was marked by the inauguration of the Palace of Peace and Accord - a 62-m-high pyramid of steel and pale gray granite, designed by Norman Foster, with stained-glass panels by the artist Brian Clarke. Its art and sculpture were chosen to represent the world's major religions, to underscore the religious tolerance...
