...Harvard stumbled to seven straight losses before commencing Ivy League competition, including close losses to local foes Boston University and Northeastern. The start of the Ancient Eight season brought new hope for the Crimson squad as it demolished its first Ivy opponent, Dartmouth, by 26 points. Sophomore forward Pat Magnarelli and junior guard Andrew Pusar—who was recently named the 108th captain of the team—led the way with 17 and 16 points, respectively. Magnarelli’s Ivy success would be short-lived, however, as an injury in the first minute of the following weekend?...
...critical sense, we academicians know these men as psychopaths, and perhaps they are. They believe in sensuality, not sense; in thrill, not mere experience. Beauty is physical, and they think the world owes them a living—a free beer, a pat on the back, easy sex, and a wad of twenty-dollar bills. Responsibility has too many syllables and love is a dirty word. Ginsberg makes a disappointing Rimbaud...
...weekly Yusufiyah area government council meeting is about to start, and the heavily fortified front gate of the local community center is a crush of activity. U.S. Soldiers and Iraqi police call the men forward one by one, and pat them down for weapons before letting them inside. It is a scene replicated thousands of times a day all over the country. Except for one difference: here, the security detail includes a team of eight Iraqi women checking all of the females attempting to enter as well...

So was Clint Eastwood's Changeling, though the Hollywood icon, who turns 78 on Saturday, received a "Special Prize of the 61st" - essentially a we're-glad-you're-still-around pat on the back. That means that, over the past 24 festivals, the old cowboy has brought five films to Cannes, and none has taken a competition prize. Another of these life-achievement citations went to Catherine Deneuve, 64, who starred in the French drama A Christmas Tale. She was there; Clint wasn...
Standing on a wooden platform located deep inside his open-pit mine, Pat Crisby, a plainspoken Newfoundlander, makes a startling observation. "We move enough dirt to fill the SkyDome in 48 hours," says Crisby, a fiftyish manager at Syncrude Canada Ltd., a company that is the Incredible Hulk of North America's biggest and richest resource deposit: Alberta's oil sands. The idea of filling the 60,000-seat home of the Toronto Blue Jays (now called Rogers Centre) with sticky, bitumen-laced soil from the Aurora North mine in a weekend is mind-boggling. But it puts the business...
