...played by Carlos Padilla in a remarkable acting debut. He’s a parallel of the title character in Francois Truffaut’s “The Wild Child,” with his mussed hair, small lanky frame, and piercing eyes. Like the boy of that classic film, he swings his limbs in happiness and flashes his teeth in anger, expressing each emotion to its extreme. Still, says Torres, that energy made him a force of nature who was sometimes difficult to restrain. The film’s first wardrobe person had a nervous breakdown and quit...

Benitez hung back from the spotlight, taking only...
...classroom, but I would argue that everyone who makes it to a premier educational institution like Harvard should at least give it a try. Here are my top ten reasons why:10. Unleash your creativity: Teaching doesn’t have to fit the stereotype presented in that classic movie of 1986 (anyone? anyone?): “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” No topic (except perhaps the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act) can prevent good teachers from constructing lesson plans that pique their students’ curiosity. All-star educators can explain the difference between capitalism...
