Harvard's biggest strength may lie in its formidable midfield, the glue to this talented offense. Stauffer rejoins the team after a trying year in which she took a semester off to spend time with her ailing brother, who lost a two-and-a-half year battle with leukemia in January...
...surprising that Mount, whose art education began when he apprenticed himself to his brother, a sign painter, should have made a few early stabs at the Grand Manner; and even less so that he was wholly inept at it. Greece, Rome and Israel were very far from bustling, nouveau-riche young America. Mount, a farmer's boy from Setauket, Long Island (a suburb today, deep country then), was very much part of that America, a country inventor who made his own boats and believed that a "hollow-backed" violin he had designed was better than anything from Cremona. Sensibly...
Look out, LeAnn Rimes: a couple of kids are gaining on you. Amanda Wilkinson, 16, and brother Tyler, 14, are two-thirds of this Canadian country trio.

...Crowley earned praise for his expressionistic perspectives of uptown tenements and upstate jails. He is now at work on four projects, including Hytner's film of the show Chicago (with Madonna and Goldie Hawn); a London revival of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, directed by Crowley's younger brother John; and a Disney stage musical loosely based on The Invisible Man. There's a Bob boom on: he is the guy everyone has to have...
