...preseason poll, taking 14 of 16 first-place votes. Yale also benefits from the bevy of questions that accompany its closest rivals. Harvard must replace the leading rusher and scorer in Ivy history, Princeton must find a substitute for the 2006 Player of the Year, and Penn loses the bulk of its excellent offensive line while also instituting a new offensive system...

Mosfilm, the oldest movie studio in Russia and the former center of Soviet cinema, is gradually...

Some of the goods that are smuggled in, such as alcohol, do little harm to the formal...
