...show the public what has happened.” These words nicely sum up The Crimson’s own journalistic mission to serve you, the reader, and the entire Harvard community by keeping you informed of developments that might affect your life as a Harvard student, professor, or curious onlooker. We report on public events, like a meeting of the Undergraduate Council or the announcement of a new College initiative. But at the heart of our job are those stories that require investigation, and that someone somewhere would rather you not read about—it was our expos?...
...This is, of course, an ensemble vehicle. The only name actor, Brent Carver (a 1993 Tony winner for Kiss of the Spider Woman), turns Gandalf into a curious, wispy thing, with eccentric line readings and maundering instead of majesty. Carver's off-putting mannerisms tilt the focus from Gandalf to the hobbits--leprechaunish here, with round bellies and bottoms, like the Munchkins in MGM's Oz--persuasively played by jockey-size actors. James Loye, as Frodo, and Peter Howe, as Sam, get the message that heroes are ordinary folk who rise under extraordinary circumstances. In this predominantly Canadian cast...

...Facebook's most distinctive feature. It's the place on every member's site where friends can post messages, have conversations and just generally keep up. The wall makes sense in one respect: it's easy and fun to spot an incoming message. But in another it's curious: you can peruse the postings of everyone else at your school. Which means the wall is one of those giveaway clues about Generation M: teenagers think their lives are private just so long as their parents aren't tuning...
...raised in Taiwan, which China considers a breakaway province. Lee's shout-out to his fellow Taiwanese was excised from the mainland broadcast of the Oscars?as was a speech on gay love, which is widely stigmatized in China. While Beijing hasn't allowed the film to be distributed, curious Chinese are in luck: thanks to rampant piracy on the mainland, illicit DVDs are widely available...
