When RUSSELL CROWE arrived at a Manhattan criminal court last Friday, he had the remorseful-celebrity look down pat. Funereal black suit and dark sunglasses to convey solemnity and sorrow? Check. Supportive wife (DANIELLE SPENCER) at his side, suggesting family-man stability? Check. Checkbook? Check. Crowe, who hurled a phone at a hotel clerk in June, was initially charged with a felony, which could have kept him from working in the U.S. But having paid the clerk, Nestor Estrada, a widely reported $100,000 to avoid a civil suit, Crowe pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge...
...Hurricane Katrina hit--30 in the past month--raising the death toll to 1,053 in Louisiana. The looters are still working too, brazenly taking their haul in daylight. But at night darkness falls, and it's quiet. "It's spooky out there. There's no life," says cardiologist Pat Breaux, who lives near Pontchartrain with only a handful of neighbors.

...Harvard deficit with 9:43 remaining in the season opener.Cause for concern: The Crimson’s 13 penalties for 110 yards, the ugliest of which were late hits in the red zone and a facemask call that led to sophomore kicker Matt Schindel’s first missed PAT in 21 attempts.MVP: Give it to O’Hagan. Not a bad coming-out party for the kid dubbed “Little Fitzy.” His two passing touchdowns and one rushing, over 60 yards of nimble scrambling, and leadership of a fourth-quarter comeback gave...
...scores.The Crimson needed stability from somewhere, because it certainly wasn’t going to be found on special teams.“I thought we executed our game plan across the board,” Murphy said, “with maybe the exception of field goal, PAT.”Harvard scored twice in the first quarter on touchdown receptions by Widman. Employing little-used receiver Peter Scully and tight end Jason Miller for the first strike, sophomore quarterback Liam O’Hagan moved the Harvard offense into the red zone. From the four-yard line...
