Under bleached winter skies, Kiev is saturated with color - blues, ice whites, reds and, of course, orange. Political parties have plastered every wall in their liveries; their supporters declare allegiance with vivid scarves, headbands and banners at rallies patrolled by riot police. It's as if Hollywood had decided to re-enact the orange revolution that less than 15 months ago installed the people's choice, Viktor Yushchenko, as Ukrainian President. In the Hollywood version Yushchenko would be an unimpeachable hero and his ousted rival, the former Russia-backed Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, an unalloyed villain.

...that indigenous storytelling has international appeal. Three of the top five grossing films in Japanese history were produced by Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli.

But...Boe’s been in this position before and she’ll do everything she can and put her team in a position to win.”Although New Hampshire should benefit from having home ice, it suffers from a decided deficit in postseason experience. The Wildcats are making their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance tonight, while all of the upperclassmen on the Harvard roster have had at least one taste of women’s hockey’s Big Dance. “The older kids certainly have the experience...
...want to do,” Walsh said. “But I think we’ll be ready for the drop of the puck [against Dartmouth].” The Crimson split the season series with the Big Green, with each team winning on its home ice in dominating fashion. Harvard took the first game, 6-2, in both teams’ first regular season matchup of the season, while Dartmouth captured the most recent contest, 5-1. The teams haven’t faced off against each other since mid-December. “That second game...
