...Both men like to play arrogant, vulgar, out-of-shape buffoons - angry antiheroes with oversized egos and anger management problems. In the cult comedy The Foot Fist Way, McBride growled as a hapless martial arts instructor who never missed an opportunity to tell his students he was better than them. In Pineapple Express, he was the shotgun-toting stoner who found the strength to embrace his new-found "thug life." And with the new HBO comedy series Eastbound & Down, set to premiere Sunday, Feb. 15, McBride has teamed up with executive producer Ferrell to tell the story of a washed...

...Monday afternoon in Quincy House, a large audience of Harvard students and faculty was spellbound by a five-foot-tall, 79-year-old mother of 11 children. Dolores Huerta, president of the Dolores Huerta Foundation and co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America—although delicate in appearance—exudes the calm passion and power that distinguishes leaders of her incredible historical stature. The daughter of a waitress and a coal miner, Señora Huerta’s lifelong fight for social justice is, as David G. Hernandez ’09 puts...
