...film itself is less of a revelation, a revisiting of familiar types and scenarios that are nicely executed but not exactly relevant beyond the pleasure of nostalgia. The Whittaker family members are classic examples of interwar, edging-toward-shabby English gentry, ready to be jolted into 20th century reality. The scissors-sharp matriarch (Kristen Scott Thomas) thoroughly disapproves of her son John's (Ben Barnes) taste in brides. He was supposed to marry Sarah (Charlotte Riley), the girl from the next castle over, who could have restored the family to its former glory. Instead he shows up with Larita...
...contorted form and elaborate surfaces dropped out of Piano's vocabulary long ago, within just a few years of his and Richard Rogers' completion of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris in 1977. His allegiance is to the working principles of classic Modernism, and in this case with a nod to Chicago Modernism, which he references everywhere. By its horizontal thrust the Modern Wing harks back to the Prairie-style architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Its three adjacent bays of glass wall at the end of each floor bear trace elements of the tripartite "Chicago window" that...
...Gayoom's regime retained its hold on power like many classic dictatorships: what media that existed were run either by the state or the President's closest allies, and dissidents were locked and beaten up, often on the most spurious grounds.

Brown was especially dominant in preseason action, earning MVP honors at both the Highlander Classic and Miken Classic. Among Ivy pitchers, she ranked in the top three in all major pitching categories. The freshman led the league in strikeouts, saves, innings pitched (150.1), and opponent batting average (.183). She is seventh on the Harvard career strikeout list, and 12th in all-time wins. Brown was joined...
FlyBy gives the Lev HoCo some major props for its creative and varied use of house space. Matted stills from the classic 1942 film lined the walls connecting the formal’s three main areas, each of which had a decidedly different feel. Those looking for the typical Harvard dance experience—i.e., sweaty writhing in a dark room with DJ Straus—found what they wanted in the Lev Old Library. Across the hall in the JCR, formal-goers enjoyed a tasty chocolate fountain while random revelers, presumably aided by the free-flowing open bar (FlyBy...
