MARION: Memorably embodied by Karen Allen, Marion (Raiders of the Lost Ark) was a two-fisted drinker, a bare-knuckle fighter (unless confined to a wicker basket) and a perfect romantic foil for the rakish Dr. Jones. She was Rosalind Russell to his Cary Grant, Bette Davis to his Errol Flynn--in short, a helluva dame...
...life of French resistance heroine Lucie Aubrac was the stuff of action novels. With her husband Raymond, who survives her, she founded Liberation Sud, one of the first networks set up by the Resistance, which sought to foil the Nazis during World War II. Before the couple was able to flee to London in 1944, Lucie engineered several of Raymond's escapes from prison--once by smuggling him a virus that enabled him to wriggle away en route to a hospital. The subject of the 1997 hit film Lucie Aubrac, she was given France's highest award, the Legion...

...many fencers as possible for a run at another NCAA title.Unfortunately, that shot now comes with a handicap.Yesterday’s NCAA Regional Championships at Tufts included many ups and downs.

But the experienced collegiate fencer knows that entering just nine into...
...female model. The blinds filter the light in long straight lines, but upon the body each line curves, thickens, and thins in its own unique way. In these slyly minimal photographs, Clergue most creatively celebrates the female form, for which the plain rigidity of the inorganic world is a foil. Here, it is the women who are strong, not the city. Also receiving their fair share of attention in the main gallery are Clergue’s semi-abstractions of salt flats, marshes, and coastal areas. The arid earth in “Craquelures de Sel” resembles Aaron...
