...Bruce Greenwood, a little-known Canadian actor, has made something remarkable out of this poisoned plum. His JFK, in the Cuban Missile Crisis docudrama "Thirteen Days," quickly moves beyond physical and vocal impersonation to find a harried man in extremis - a young man surrounded by "knowledgeable" cold warriors who have little faith in him. His only rudder is a root belief that America ought not to stumble into an annihilating war with the Soviet Union. From this belief, and Greenwood's craft, a hero emerges...
...process is actually under constant review, and as Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68 has suggested, we will revisit it again this year. It's worth noting that this same process led to outstanding results in the Canadian Rhodes and British Marshall Scholarships competitions this year. The Crimson's headline last Monday said Harvard had been "shut out" this year, an approach that seems wrong. Rhodes Scholarships aren't simply prizes that schools collect, but opportunities for students. As U.S. Rhodes Secretary Elliot Gerson '74 told The Crimson, "We choose individuals, not colleges."

Although Harvard students often represent at least four of the 32 scholars who go on to study at Oxford University, this year they are entirely absent from the group. And having duly congratulated Canadian Rhodes scholarship winner Tegan S. Shohet '01, we are puzzled why Harvard students were unable to garner any of the American Rhodes scholarships.

...SARAH HARMER You Were Here (Zoe). Harmer, a Canadian singer-songwriter, has a voice with some of the sublime charm of Dido's and writes erudite but colloquial lyrics that evoke the folksy smarts of the Indigo Girls. This is the year's best debut, with honorable mention going to Nelly Furtado's blithe Whoa, Nelly...
...Crimson has been playing at a high level offensively since co-captain Jennifer Botterill and senior winger Tammy Shewchuk returned from the Canadian National Team. Harvard currently has half of the ECAC's top six scorers in Shewchuk (6 goals, 15 assists), Botterill (13 g, 7 a) and Francisco (5 g, 14 a). Harvard is second in the conference in scoring at 4.55 goals a game...
