...also because: Why not? LOTR is certainly an alluring franchise; it's one of the most popular and beloved works in publishing history and (sorry, George Lucas) the all-time top-grossing movie trilogy. So producer Kevin Wallace raised about $24 million, from private and Canadian government sources, to mount a 3 1/2-hr. epic--the longest musical this side of Wagner--and the most expensive Broadway-style show ever, though it's at least two years from playing New York City...
...white students graduate at a rate of 97 percent, giving Harvard one of the nation’s smallest graduate rate differentials between black and white students. Nationally, the JBHE reported that black women graduate at a rate of 46 percent, compared with 35 percent for black men. Mount Holyoke and Smith Colleges, both women’s schools, have graduation rates that are 4 percentage points higher for black than white students, though neither tops 90 percent.

Lindsay Cassell, also assisted by Villapiano, extended the run for the Minutewomen to 9-0. Down 9-3, Harvard needed to mount some sort of offensive drive to remain in the game. With that in mind, the Crimson mustered a 4-0 run to bring the score to 9-7. Two goals by Curtis and one apiece for sophomore Tara Schoen and Simmons brought Harvard within two. The Crimson, however, would not come...
...Laurence, must become the dragon's rider--which distresses him, since, as everyone knows, "no woman of sense and character would deliberately engage her affections on an aviator." Laurence's induction into the strange, insular world of 19th century dragon riders and his unfolding relationship with his highly intelligent mount, Temeraire, make enthralling reading--it's like Jane Austen playing Dungeons & Dragons with Eragon's Christopher Paolini...
