...early accident cast a pall over the afternoon's proceedings and made Dartmouth's win in the men's meet and Brown's in the women's--and Harvard's second-place finish to both--relatively inconsequential...
...Europe were shaken by the slow progress of the air war, Serbs were solid in their defiance, and Milosevic surely felt stronger than ever, cast as the nation's plucky savior. The bombing effectively silenced most of his opposition, and he shut down or intimidated anyone else who still had a mind to speak out. Proudly painting targets on their shirts and buildings, the young of Belgrade rallied for Slobo in the same streets and squares where protesters had marched two years ago to throw him out.

Ciaran Hinds (the only London holdover) smartly navigates Larry's sometimes improbable swings of temperament; Rupert Graves is pub-crawlingly plausible as Dan; and Anna Friel, as the waifish Alice, is the most appealing new face on Broadway this season. Richardson invests Anna's elegant exterior with shadows of vulnerability, delivers gag lines with dry panache and raises the electricity level just by striding onstage. And yet, amazingly, her star wattage never outshines the ensemble. Now that's a career move...
