...Harriot Hunt, the first woman who attempted to enter Harvard, applied to the Medical School in 1847. Sarah Pellet, in 1849, was the first to apply to the College, but immediately withdrew her application when then Harvard President Jared Sparks admonished her for applying...
...star also acquits himself quite nicely in the film, which is notable not because it co-stars Helen Hunt (what doesn't co-star Helen Hunt these days?), but because it's Gibson's first foray into romantic comedy. "They haven't naturally come my way," he says when asked why he hasn't worked in this genre before. "I wouldn't be the first guy to choose for something like this." Actually, he was at the top of the wish lists of director Nancy Meyers and Paramount chairman Sherry Lansing. Meyers (who penned the 1991 "Father of the Bride...
...What Women Want," Gibson plays an ad-agency executive whose brain gets rewired during a freak bathroom accident. Suddenly he can hear what women are thinking; hilarity and personal growth ensue. Before the film's third act - before he falls for his new boss (Hunt) and learns to relate to his teenage daughter (Ashley Johnson) - Gibson sends himself up.

He's a guy who on one hand has this freeze-dried rat in his trailer that he tortures people with - and then can talk about Shakespeare's language, about iambic pentameter. He's both those people." The question facing the $25 million man is this: Who exactly will he be in the coming decades? His image - the winking, wisecracking, pistol-packing hero-clown - is already showing signs of age. The '80s-style action movie he mastered is past its prime...
...Golden Knights have their work cut out for them in terms of the conference hunt. Losses to Princeton and Cornell have dropped Clarkson to the bottom half of the league standings, and its win over lukewarm St. Lawrence did little to boost its ranking. Goaltender Shawn Grant has provided some help in back, boasting a .909 save percentage with wins in half of his starts. However, Clarkson has not been much better than the Saints in keeping the goal count down, allowing 3.67 goals-against per game, good for eighth in the ECAC...
