...Nonacademic Approach But that was then. Money raised through Oxford's appeal will be poured into new facilities and the endowment. Scholars at Cambridge needn't feel outdone. Under its own campaign, launched in 2005 to mark the university's 800th anniversary next year, Cambridge hopes to bring in $2 billion by 2012, and has already raised some $1.3 billion...
...where I say I'm not really qualified to comment on either the series or the movie because I'm (a) male and (b) straight. And yet, having both those infirmities, I also feel estranged at times from Judd Apatow films. I have the anachronistic notion that romantic comedies needn't be exclusively partial to one gender; they should be critical and loving and true to both. So I'll soldier on with my mixed, distant, defiantly ignorant review of this 142-minute trifle - which comes close to being the longest non-musical romantic comedy in Hollywood history...
...tanned to a rich Corinthian leather; he's still lithe on his feet, and can deliver a wisecrack as sharp as a whipcrack. Karen Allen, 56, who was Indy's saucy love Marion Ravenwood in Raiders, still has that glittering smile and vestiges of her old elfin swagger.

Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich) will be here with his directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York, supported by a cast that includes Philip Seymour Hoffman, Michelle Williams, Catherine Keener, Emily Watson and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Brooklyn-based helmer James Gray (We Own the Night) is coming with Two Lovers and his leading players, Joaquin Phoenix and Gwyneth Paltrow. All these directors and actors will mount the Palais' 24 red-carpeted steps to the evening premiere...
This isn't to suggest that Democrats and Republicans come in roughly equal shades of green. In the White House and in Congress, the Democratic Party has been a better friend to the environment, especially in recent years. But it means that environmentalism hasn't always been and needn't always be an issue that splits political parties - that valuing the Earth and promoting conservation can be themes that unite Americans, not divide them. And that unity will be especially necessary on climate change, a threat that demands such a sweeping response from America that only truly bipartisan action will...
