Public interest in "The Real Housewives" of hither and yon notwithstanding, the well-behaved trophy wife is not, generally speaking, a character we're dying to know more about. And beautiful Pippa Lee (Robin Wright Penn) is a trophy wife of the highest order. Polite, restrained and seemingly vacant, the heroine of writer/director Rebecca Miller's The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, cooks a mean butterflied lamb, keeps a meticulous house and floats around in silky pajamas, all the while gazing fondly at her cutely cranky husband Herb (Alan Arkin), a former publisher 30 years older than...

In five months, she lost 46 lb., dropping from a size 20 to a comfortable size 12. "I finally found an exercise that...
...what of Lowell House and the other Harvard Houses? We have spent hundreds of hours of faculty, student, and staff time studying House expansion and renewal. Five or six years ago, we were looking at Allston. Houses, athletic fields, buildings were being imaginatively moved hither and yon to create a new campus. As the financial crisis began, that came to a halt. Then it was renewing the infrastructure of the Houses, particularly the river Houses like Lowell, still vastly overcrowded and deeply in need of full-scale renovation. That too had to come to a halt. We are, however, moving...
