Such is life in Tehran in the shadow of the Bush Administration's policy of regime change - or building opposition to the mullahs, or whatever you want to call the U.S. campaign to alter Iran's government. Ever since President Bush earlier this year appealed to Iranians to "win your own freedom," and launched a $75 million program to promote democracy in Iran, reporting from Tehran has taken on the flavor of Cold War novel. The government is obsessed with the U.S. plot for 'velvet...
...becomes secondary in the film. Penn Warren’s narrator invokes moral ambiguity and empathy; Law annoys the audience with his poor Southern accent, lack of emotions, and unnaturally waxy skin.

"I just want you to think I'm thin...
...better up front, they beat us up front, and we didn’t get it done.”The Crimson’s success against the run this year has been aided by the fact that, once Harvard jumps out to a lead, it forces opponents to alter their game plan. Despite a running back-by-committee system that picked up 207 yards on the ground against Georgetown in Week One, the Bears carried the ball 16 times fewer against the Crimson.Not surprisingly, that means they threw 14 more passes—not the winning formula for DiGiacomo...
