...GELLERT Budapest's most opulent public bathhouse?bathing here is like soaking in a cathedral. Built in 1918, the Art Nouveau bath is a maze of eight thermal pools, and a feast for the eye with its fine statuary, mosaic walls and columns lining the pools. One-day entry...
Ogunwole, the final Harvard NCAA qualifier, was another wrestler to be sent into the consolation round by the eventual winner in his weight class. Ogunwole lost to Penn’s No. 2 Matt Feast 5-3, but was the only wrestler in the tournament to score a takedown against...
...Monday night last week, after George W. Bush had given his first real campaign speech of the season to Republican Governors, he invited five of them back to the White House for dinner and a chance to spend the night in the presidential mansion. Over a batter-dipped feast in his private dining room that would have given Dick Cheney's cardiologist the bends--fried shrimp, fried onion rings, corn on the cob, French fries, cole slaw and cheesecake--Bush was jovial, confident.

Gibson gives us Christ's blood, not in a Communion cup, but by the gallon. Blood spraying from Jesus' shackled body; blood sluicing to the Cross's foot. This Passion begins just before Jesus' arrest. It ends with a blink-length Resurrection. The bulk of his ministry, miracles and post-Resurrection appearances are absent, and his preaching of love flicked at in telegraphically brief flashbacks. Meanwhile, his scourging, handled in all four Gospels...
