...running for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars on Feb. 22. Directed by Uli Edel - who called the shots on Eichinger's first hit - the film focuses on West Germany in the '60s, when a group of largely middle class youth led by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Enslin broke off from the massive anti-Vietnam War student protests and, calling themselves the Red Army Faction (more commonly known outside Germany as the Baader-Meinhof gang), went on a killing spree in a fight against the establishment. "This is the story of our generation," says Stefan Aust, former...
...Princeton, put the league crown out of Harvard’s reach. Despite a well-worked goal from freshman Gina Wideroff moments before halftime, Harvard (10-5-1, 3-3-0) was unable to cope with the Lions’ style of play, allowing two goals from Columbia senior Gudrun Finnsdottir.

Keiko was only a juvenile of two in 1979 when he was captured in Icelandic waters by the Gudrun, a ship that, ironically, is based in Heimaey's harbor, next to the bay that is Keiko's present home. Shipped to a marine park in Canada, Keiko did not respond well to captivity, and lesions started appearing on his skin. Within three years, he had been sold to Reino...
...Metropolitan Opera's powerful artistic director and the leading interpreter of Wagner on the international scene ever since Georg Solti largely retired from theatrical work. Levine's partners are Alfred Kirchner, an experienced European opera and theater director, and set and costume designer Rosalie, the professional name of Gudrun Muller. This is the pair's first time working on the Ring at Bayreuth as well. The result is an expected success for Levine, a muddled start for Kirchner and a deserved round of boos -- as only Festspielhaus crowds can bay them -- for Rosalie...
