Indeed, Romance is awash in cinematic jokes and asides: Hill laces the action with references to Hollywood lore, his own past hits and Truffaut's Antoine Doinel movies. The film's portrait of young love may be touching, but its most moving moments celebrate love of a different kind: the passion that movie professionals, both young and old, have for their craft...
...case method--it is probably the chief reason Harvard MBAs are so eminently eminently employable and well-paid. Business faculty see cases as the heart of their work. A recent faculty report speaks of "the oral tradition that surrounds the program an involves the passing of program lore from one faculty member to another and from one student to another."

Last year it was more of the same, as Caryn challenged her brother Jim, the football team's gifted wide receiver, for a place in Harvard sports lore. The hoop team was promoted to Division One of the AIAW and found the going a little rougher. And though the squad's record fell to 13-10 (quite phenomenal considering the improved competition), the Curry factor remained constant; she led the squad in rebounds, assists, and finished second in scoring...
