...evident that the memory of Quincy House seniors has become quite cloudy. Certainly, I believe that Interim Quincy House Masters Lee and Deborah J. Gehrke have done a superb job this year and I am quite pleased to spend my last year at Harvard with them. But I must say that it does a great injustice to Quincy House Masters Robert P. Kirshner ’70 and Jayne Loader—who are on sabatical this year—to selectively contrast very specific qualities of theirs with those of the Gehrkes, and quite frankly, I believe...
There was something a bit unusual about Lee Kuan Yew's annual Chinese New Year speech this year. The words of Lee, Singapore's former Prime Minister and founding father, are heeded by the public, because they provide a road map for the city-state's economic development.

Toward the end, when an aged, seen-it-all sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) takes center screen, the film runs itself off the rails-willfully refusing to come to the climactic showdown the viewer demands. But mostly it's a tense, fatal game of Texas Hold-'Em, in which Brolin and Bardem give career-defining performances...
