...Leadership Program. Created in 1997 by Harvard Student Agencies, the conference aims to teach students about the private sector through exposure to faculty members and various professionals from the business world. Upon arrival last Sunday, participants were immersed in a crash course on accounting, courtesy of management doctoral student Ethan S. Bernstein. “We want to prove that undergrads are prepared to sit in the seats of an HBS classroom,” Bernstein told participants. “You’re used to hearing teachers who have complete control. That’s about to change...
...there's a knock on Joel and Ethan Coen, the writer-director brothers who otherwise have enjoyed a quarter-century of critical acclaim, it's that they betray a condescension, almost a contempt, for the people they've created. From the lover-killers in the Coens' first feature, Blood Simple, to the babynappers in Raising Arizona and a raft of Minnesotans in Fargo, all manner of desperately striving oafs populate the Coen gallery of film art.

...freshmen who participated appeared satisfied. “I definitely started harder than I should have, but at the end I definitely wanted to keep going,” said Vicky E.

...three continents, TIFF is seen as the launching pad for films that have eyes on the Academy Awards. So do the movies' largest luminaries. Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton will be there in aid of Burn After Reading, a quirky spy caper from Joel and Ethan Coen, who nabbed the top Oscar with No Country for Old Men. George Clooney, another of the film's stars, may not be in Toronto, but he was all over the place last year with Michael Clayton. Matt Damon, Julianne Moore, Colin Farrell, Scarlett Johansson, Edward Norton, Renee Zellweger, Natalie...
...This is a man practiced in deceit," says one character of another in Burn After Reading. "It's almost his job." Deceit is very much the job of the new film from Joel and Ethan Coen. It's as if, after winning two fat Oscars (best picture and director) for their fairly straightforward adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men, the brothers needed to reassert their old capricious cunning, their weasily larkishness, their independence from easy acclaim. "Just because you agree with the Academy that we made the best film of 2007," they seem to be warning...
