...Clint Eastwood’s latest film “Changeling,” Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie) tells her son, “Never start a fight, but always finish it.” Though it’s no “Million Dollar Baby,” “Changeling” stays true to this charge, fighting to tell a story of justice and loss till the very end of an emotionally turbulent 140 minutes.

HRL President Mary Anne Marks ’10 has admitted that she is unsure whether the damage to HRL’s poster is intentional or not; nevertheless, we stand with the administration...
...Senator, who is currently up for re-election, treated the verdict like it was just another attack ad in a political season, issuing a statement that hit right back at "prosecutorial misconduct." He promised, as he has in the past, to fight for his election to the finish, and to "fight this unjust verdict with every ounce of energy I have." Said Stevens: "I am innocent."
