...supported the team was as memorable as any fake punt or successful completion. To see generations of Crimson supporters tailgating, cheering or celebrating was heartwarming and uplifting. As the band played Ten Thousand Men of Harvard, alumni clad in deer-stalker coats and bow ties danced with undergraduates in crude Game T-shirts, united by their love of Harvard and pride in its achievements. Harvard College purports to be largely about bringing different groups together, combining their diverse backgrounds to create memorable new experiences. The scenes after The Game illustrated the critical role of diversity here far better than...
...hostage for 444 days, the embassy, which since then has been used as a high school for children of the Revolutionary Guards, was opened to the public for the first time. Iran is also commemorating the anniversary with an exhibit dedicated to "America's crimes around the world"--featuring crude and macabre displays, from devil-horned effigies of Uncle Sam to a Statue of Liberty with a live dove behind bars in its stomach.

...office smashes and critics’ choices, with a plethora of acclaimed short films like Geri’s Game adding to its extraordinary success. Just try to show me another movie studio with that kind of record. Its unique concoctions of sweetness without gross sentimentality, humor without crude vulgarity and irony without acerbic sarcasm, make movies like Monsters, Inc. the stuff that all movies, not just animated ones, should be made of. To generate computer-animated characters that are more well developed than many live-action film roles is no mean feat. Even “supporting?...
