Drilling was one of the animators working earlier this year as the shooting of Were-Rabbit raced to its close in the Aardman sound stage, a huge warren of 30 curtained sets, some that could fit on an office desk, some about the size of the model-train layout in your loner uncle's basement. Following each of the 24,000 hand-sketched storyboards that illustrate the scenes, the animator dresses the set, puts in props (tomatoes made of wax, teddy-bear fur painted green for grass), gives each character the subtlest facial makeover and takes the picture. Animators must...
Turner is a model of the modern American officer, a wry, boyish-looking West Point graduate equally versed in the works of Clausewitz and St. Augustine. As he waits for help to arrive, he directs his men not to shoot wildly at the shadows flitting through the battle chaos. "Dammit! It's civilians mixed with enemy," he shouts into his radio.

...smoothly as the J.P.L. systems run, the true test of the lab's business model comes when something goes wrong. Every time the lab pushes the launch button, billions of dollars, dozens of careers and decades of planning can be on the line.

"Coming out of this game, I think our team will focus on increasing our speed of play and working on our execution," junior forward Gretchen Fuller said. "Duke was a good model for both of these elements, and having had the opportunity to play them will only help us raise our level of hockey." The Crimson will next square off against neighborhood nemesis No. 12 Northeastern on Wednesday at 4 pm in Boston, the first of four New England road games Harvard will...
...course, in addition to centralizing resources already available, the Women’s Center can offer new services that were impossible before, due to lack of adequate space. Advocates suggest that a Director for the Center be hired in a model similar to that of the Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations, to oversee women’s experience at Harvard, plan programming for the Center, and represent the interests of female students to the administration—all services that Radcliffe provided as little as 10 years ago, but which subsequently disappeared. Parties, art exhibits, and conferences...
