...Second, because I was wrong about Columbia. In my first Around the Ivies column, I wasted perfectly good insults, such as calling the Lions “the court jester of the Ivy League,” that would have been much better used on Dartmouth. Columbia has a fearsome defense, and if it can maintain that part of its game and pick up a star or two on offense, the Ancient Eight will be wise not to take the Lions lightly next season...
...your family” were only the beginning of an eight-year laugh riot! But after eight years of State of the Union addresses where nuclear was pronounced as an arbitrary sequence of three syllables, we have become accustomed to seeing the presidential office as part-king, part-jester.

Destiny, though its beginning and ending are literally incendiary, is at heart a ripping yarn with much buckling of swashes, and musical numbers, too. The Other, a hit at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival (where Chahine received a 50th Anniversary life-achievement award) and at the Toronto and New York fests, is a delirious blast - a politico-romantic amalgam of melodrama and music, at a pace and pitch that Bollywood directors wouldn...
