Kennedy and Marshall have different strengths. Kennedy favors development--reading scripts, matching talent and material. "I'm more of a big-picture, conceptual kind of thinker," she says. Marshall, who directed the movies Alive and Congo, excels at the problem-solving required by a logistically complex film. "I love math and making things work," he says. Even on the most meticulously planned movie, however, something will go wrong. There are too many people, too much expensive equipment, too many unpredictable factors like weather and local crowds.

They want me and Mr. Agrawal, a chemical engineer from Columbia, to make learning fun, one Farmer Bob problem at a time...
...Library and a welcoming address by Dean of the College David Pilbeam on Friday afternoon. In addition to these College-sponsored events, parents were invited to attend classes ranging from Historical Study B-64, “The Cuban Revolution, 1956-1971: A Self-Debate,” to Math 23a, “Linear Algebra and Real Analysis I.” Matthew P. Zehnder ’11 said he spent most of his weekend showing his parents around campus. “Parents’ Weekend is great,” Zehnder said. “It?...
