Like the boy of that classic film, he swings his limbs in happiness and flashes his teeth in anger, expressing each emotion to its extreme. Still, says Torres, that energy made him a force of nature who was sometimes difficult to restrain. The film’s first wardrobe...
...clutch as it knocked off Harvard 3-0 (33-31, 30-25, 32-30) on Saturday night at the Dillon Gymnasium in Princeton, N.J.

"Islamic radicalism, like the ideology of communism, contains inherent contradictions that doom it to failure," he declared. A White House official involved in preparing...
...senator’s actions. The tendentious rhetoric and fits of self-doubt that punctuate the rest of the film fall away as the camera focuses on Murrow’s lined face, sternly lecturing us along with his television audience. There is no one else in the frame, no showy camera moves, no soundtrack—nothing to distract us from Strathairn’s understated virtuoso performance and the blunt, sobering words of the script, which Clooney co-wrote...
