...Winterbottom is a past master at lending the traditional story-telling format to real stories of the modern world at war. Welcome to Sarajevo, In This World and The Road to Guantanamo all mixed documentary footage with either fictional scenes played by professional actors or reenactments by the actual participants. A Mighty Heart is a more straightforward docudrama, following the horrific tick-tock of Mariane's ordeal. As played by Jolie, she is a demanding, nails-tough woman, while Futterman's Danny is more easy-going but no less tenacious at his job - a good reporter, and a mensch...

The winners of each regional advance to the Super Regionals, which will be played the following weekend. The Crimson, which won the Ivy League with a two-game playoff sweep of Penn two weekends...
...three musicals inspired or produced by Ziegfeld's grand old revues. These were extravagant revues featuring vaudeville stars, lavish production numbers and statuesque chorines in eccentric headgear, and they ran annually until 1925, then sporadically for another decade, even after the great impresario's death in 1932. The revue format hung on through the 40s and 50s, with Leonard Sillman's New Faces series and, in more intimate venues, Julius Monk's Plaza 9 shows...
