...first time that feat had been achieved in six years by the men and in eight years by the women. The women edged the Bulldogs by 11 points, while the men won by eight points in Princeton. On the men’s side, it was solely a dual meet, as the Princeton men have not taken part in the tri-meet since 1998. Yale’s Jake Gallagher won in 25:43, but Harvard took second, third, and fourth, led by captain Brian Holmquest, who finished second in 25:55. He was followed by fellow senior Christopher Green...
...That Obscure Object of Desire, Luis Buñuel famously cast two actresses to play one character (though it wasn't to suggest a dual nature; it was because - who knows why, the man was a surrealist). Two years ago, in Palindromes, Todd Solondz had the lead character, a 12-year-old girl, played by eight actors (including a boy and two adults). Haynes' use makes the most sense, at least the kind of sense a filmmaker can pitch at a backers' meeting, since Dylan did have many lives, all of his own creation...

Roger Hughes has done an excellent job in Jersey for a couple of years running now, but there has to be a hangover from last year’s co-Ivy title and the graduation of team heart and soul Jeff Terrell...
...goes heavy on macho posturing; at times it suggests a ragged off-off-Broadway play. And De Palma is not going for subtlety here: Flake, the craziest of the squad members, has a Confederate flag for his bedspread - he's a lunatic Reb. But Redacted pretty successfully sustains a dual level of hysteria (in its content) and disinterest (in its film-long framing devices). It's an amazingly vigorous work for a filmmaker who turns 67 on Sept. 11, and his strongest cinematic and political statement at least since Casualties of War, his Vietnam film of 1989. The movie...
...winemakers are now putting their goods in juice boxes, aluminum cans like Sofia Coppola's super-hip champagne, which comes with a straw, and--in the latest packaging innovation--plastic bottles. By Mardi Gras, someone will undoubtedly be selling an oenophile's version of those drinking helmets with dual bottle holders and straws that lead to your mouth...
