...Rachel Weisz. The synopsis - "Spanning over one thousand years, and three parallel stories, The Fountain is a story of love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of our existence in this world" - makes The Fountain sound wildly ambitious, on the order of D.W. Griffith's three-hour, four-part, epoch-straddling 1916 film Intolerance. One would expect as much from Aronofsky, a young director with an original, powerful vision. But The Fountain dropped out at the last minute, reportedly because the programmers offered it a slot out of competition for the Palme d'Or and Aronofsky wanted to compete with...
...architecture, focuses her research on architecture in the Renaissance, Baroque, and modern era. But she does more than look at the buildings and monuments, said Frank Fehrenbach, also professor of history of art and architecture. “Many people focus on the buildings of an epoch, but she is also interested in theory,” he said. “There are not so many [people] working on that, especially in Italian Renaissance architecture.” The Planck award not only honors Payne’s accomplishments but recognizes her for her potential, he added...
...totalitarian state that governs Harvard’s social scene, a historical epoch has been reached: remarkably, the Fun Czar, Fun Republic, and Fun Proletariat are all in agreement.

...Yalies’ prank attempt at The Game was but a pale, failed echo of last year’s epoch in prank history. After a wholesome afternoon visiting tailgates, Barrett B. Jackson ’06 and her gaggle of friends received two suspicious text messages from an unidentified number. “Remember: SCHOOL ON MONDAY!!! -John Harvard” read the first message, and “Hi [personalized names]! At the THIRD QUARTER KICKOFF, chant “We Suck” to prove to Yale (forever a safety school) that we don?...
...shoes are scuffed, and they're unlikely to know of Eminem. Many eke out a living by renting motorbikes to work as messengers or bike taxis; hordes of them idle sullenly on their bikes near Tehran's grand bazaar. With this sort of work, it will take them an epoch to raise enough money to get married. The basij might give them a small stipend and help cover holidays at the Caspian Sea, but it cannot buy them an apartment or sustain a life. Embarrassed by their unpolished answers to a reporter's questions, they call the better-educated Rahimi...
