...Harvard women’s tennis team began its fall season over the weekend, splitting the team between two individual tournaments at the William and Mary Women’s Tennis Invitational in Williamsburg, Va. and the Columbia Classic in New York City. The Crimson sent four of its players—captain Laura Peterzan, senior Beier Ko, sophomore Samantha Rosekrans, and freshman Holly Cao—to compete in Virgina, while it sent six players to take on the competition in New York City. At William and Mary, Ko had an especially strong performance, advancing...
Since their breakthrough album, “Separation Sunday,” The Hold Steady have become one of the most polarizing bands in indie rock. To some, they’re the new standard-bearers of the classic rock revival. Others consider them derivative and label them as the poster children of Pitchfork-induced hype.

Blige’s “Real Love” to “The Message?...
...These two moods, the fraternity and the conflict, are rendered with that nearly vanished quality of France's classic bourgeois films: tact. Much of the pleasure an attentive viewer gets from Summer Hours - especially in the first 25 minutes, as Hélene hosts the family on one last bucolic weekend - is luxuriating in the milk bath of the film's good taste. I mean not just the lovely home with its period armoires and vases, but the full banquet of visual and aural felicities: the pretty grandchildren, the easy eloquence of the conversation, the Saint-Saens symphony of duck...
