...Born in 1925, Altman came out of Kansas City, breeding ground of such fertile creators and benders of American popular art as Walt Disney and Charlie Parker. (He paid tribute to his hometown's jazz heritage in the 1996 Kansas City.) It was there young Bob fell in love with pop cinema in all its apparent spontaneity. " Those movies just seemed to happen - nobody made them, you know?" he told John C. Tibbetts for a 1992 profile in the Salisbury State University Literature Film Quarterly, "And I guess that's the way I still see movies - I want them...
...Terriers (3-2-4, 3-2-3 Hockey East), however, will present no easy task. The perennial Hockey East powerhouse has always given Harvard trouble—including a 5-3 defeat in the teams’ most recent meeting.

There is evidence that a US Airways--led deal might be a good idea. They've sort of done it before, having combined with America West. US Airways CEO Doug Parker, 44, is a sharp executive who transformed his previous employer, America West, into the first successful low-fare hub-and-spoke carrier.

To do the deal, US Airways has to get a full look at Delta's books; so far Delta execs have shown little interest in sharing. Another trouble spot may be pilots, who have waged and mostly lost battles with the airlines over salary and benefit concessions. US Airways should expect no favors. "Management must first focus on fulfilling the promises made to their investors, customers and employees for the America West--US Airways merger," says...
Finally, a movie for all the squares who wish they had cut loose when they were in college. In Spring Breakdown, PARKER POSEY, AMY POEHLER and RACHEL DRATCH play straitlaced thirtysomethings who whoop it up with the popular crowd when they're supposed to be chaperoning a conservative Senator's daughter. "It's Revenge of the Nerds meets Nine to Five," Poehler says of the film, which fellow Saturday Night Live star Dratch produced and co-wrote. In the name of research, the cast did a lot of late-night partying, which doesn't do much for your adulthood cred...
