...that it would be worth the wait. For few foreigners know Burma as intimately as he, and nobody has written about it with more power. His book The Trouser People (Penguin; 2003) is the definitive account of modern Burmese society. Andrew arrived in Rangoon just in time to catch the uprising at its most optimistic: the monks had been joined by thousands of ordinary Burmese, infused with hope that they would get the junta to bend and perhaps break. Andrew joined the crowds, marveling at the courage and candor of the protesters. "After years of sneaking around this country...
...senior wide receiver Corey Mazza. A missed extra point left Harvard with a 6-0 lead. After several ineffective drives, including a Pizzotti interception, the Crimson scored touchdowns on back-to-back second-quarter possessions to take control of the contest. The first touchdown came on another touchdown catch by Mazza, this time a 27-yard grab, and the second on a nine-yard reverse to sophomore wideout Mike Cook right on the heels of a fumble recovery at the Cornell 9-yard line.That fumble was the third Big Red turnover of the first half, as Harvard?...

The opening uses the technique to give the film its name, showing Brody rush past Bill Murray’s character to catch a train—“The Darjeeling Limited.” Only 90 minutes in length, “The Darjeeling Limited” is more compressed than most of Anderson’s other films, but the brevity is a definite advantage. The spiritual journey moves quickly...
...employers are beginning to catch on. Deloitte & Touche, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Xerox and IBM are urging family-friendly benefits for their male employees and touting them to male recruits. California recently became the first state to guarantee paid time off for new dads. But the U.S. still lags far behind other countries: only 12% of U.S. corporations offer paid leave for fathers of new babies (the U.S. Family and Medical Leave Act enables workers in large companies to take up to 12 weeks off, but that time is unpaid), while dads in 65 other countries are guaranteed paid paternity or parental leave...
