The changes at the Cambridge Queen’s Head are designed to attract students—including freshmen and others under 21 years of age—that are not drawn by the availability of alcohol. “There is more to this place than beer,” said Queen’s Head General Manager Scott C. Smider ’01. Smider said adjustments to the pub’s programming are being made with the intention...
...Dirty Pretty Things, this film is set in immigrant London - this time, members of the Russian diaspora, some honest, most not. And like A History of Violence, it's about a mysterious gunman (Mortensen again) and his connection with an ordinary family drawn into the web of mob intrigue.

Once darkness fell, the hangar doors opened, and the plane pushed out onto the runway for takeoff, its lights off and its window shades drawn. Laptops were returned in midflight, but their owners had to disable the wireless functions to prevent the President's plane from being tracked across the globe. Twelve hours later, Air Force One touched down, and Bush stepped out onto the tarmac of another well-secured U.S. air base for an eight...
