...most famous lines in movie history. As police chief Brody in the 1975 blockbuster Jaws, Roy Scheider at last sees the 25-foot great white and says to shark hunter Quint, "You're gonna need a bigger boat." The ex-boxer first got attention, and an Oscar nomination, as Gene Hackman's police partner in The French Connection and proved he could be vulnerable as choreographer Joe Gideon in Bob Fosse's semiautobiographical All That Jazz, a role for which he had to learn to dance. The film, Scheider's favorite, won him critical raves and another Oscar...
...Boston Center for the Arts’ Cyclorama is a unique venue—circular and warm, it was built in the late 19th century to house a 450-foot wide and 50-foot tall painting of the battle of Gettysburg. It does seem appropriate, then, that it should host a show that comments on another war.

Half educational initiative, half political engagement, Focus the Nation is a countrywide effort to put climate change front and center on American campuses - and enlist students as foot soldiers in political battles over global warming.

...teach-in at New York's Fordham University, where students and faculty had organized a daylong series of lectures on the environment, ranging from the restoration of the polluted Bronx River to the ins and outs of international climate treaties. At Fordham, I met one of Goodstein's foot soldiers, 19-year-old sophomore Thomas Zellers, who helped organize the Focus the Nation teach-in. Attendance at the teach-in there was a bit light, and Zellers noted that drafting college students into a political movement on global warming - or almost any issue - can be an uphill battle. "Still...
...loss of 2008—a 62-54 decision to Cornell in Ithaca—but at 3-1 sits in a four-way tie atop the Ancient Eight standings with Harvard, Dartmouth, and the Big Red. Last year’s Ivy League Rookie of the Year, six-foot sophomore Melissa Colburne and her 15.4 points per game lead the way for the Bulldogs. On paper, Colburne is a traditional post player—she’s in the Ancient Eight top ten in both blocks and offensive rebounds—but Yale’s strength lies...
