...often the only source of dietary protein, and for their children, the only toy. So it was no surprise that 15-year-old Fatma Kocyigit and her 14-year-old brother Mehmet Ali played with the sick fowl their father had brought indoors for protection from the bitter December cold. The fun proved fatal. The children came down with high fevers and bleeding throats; when they went to a nearby hospital, they received ordinary medication for a cold and were sent home. A week later, when the children did not improve and their father told doctors about the chicken deaths...
...rather wan-looking Rosamund Pike of “Pride & Prejudice”). He drinks and constantly has sex with whores of any persuasion. He has an ill-fated affair with an actress, Elizabeth Barry (Samantha Morton, who is both incredibly surly and has incredibly greasy hair), whose bitter betrayal prompts him to castigate King Charles the Second (John Malkovich, sporting a prosthetic nose) with a scathing play that implies that he (the king) is a dildo.

This sort of civil-liberties fetishism is a hangover from the Vietnam era, when the Nixon Administration wildly exceeded all bounds of legality-spying on antiwar protesters and civil rights leaders...
...game but did not play. She missed her eighth straight game with an injury to her hand, but should be healthy for the start of the Ivy League season on January 7. Friday’s game against Dartmouth at Lavietes Pavilion will feature a rematch of the bitter rivals, last year’s defending Ivy League co-champions. The victory over Colgate marks the end of the non-conference season for Harvard. The Crimson suffered from injuries and inexperience in finishing with an uncharacteristically ugly 4-9 record. “We played arguably one of the best...
