...western is in what would be downtime in any other genre. The pause before a man speaks suggests the world of options available to someone facing an armed varmint in a desolate space. The tensest scene in any western - two men staring each other down before the final shoot-out - is, in modern movie terms, a moment when nothing happens...
...attack. In a back and forth contest against a tough MIT squad at Zesiger Sports and Fitness Center last night, the Harvard men’s water polo team rallied for a 10-9 victory, pushing their record to 2-1.

...down and sometimes didn’t get back up for a while. One of them was a female co-worker, so embarrassed that she was at the concert (and drunk) that she did not make eye contact with me the next few days at work. One of their final songs was a crowd favorite, “Zhong Nan Hai.” At the time I thought the song was about the complex of buildings that are effectively the headquarters of the Communist Party of China. I thought that I had perhaps stumbled upon a band singing true...
