Breaking its two-match losing streak, the Harvard men’s volleyball team (8-5, 4-5 Hay) proved it still had heart as it handily defeated the Pioneers, 3-0 (30-23, 30-27, 30-16), Saturday at Lavietes Pavilion. The Crimson’s sweep of Sacred Heart (5-10, 0-7) boosted its home record to 6-2 and was its first at the Pavilion, where it will continue to play its home games as a result of renovations at the Malkin Athletic Center. “We came in expecting 3-0 today...

...make movies by discarding props, sets, extras and real-life locations and replacing them with their computer-generated equivalents. Cinema has always had a tenuous connection to reality; they're severing it almost completely. It's a technique loosely known as "digital back lot." George Lucas was a pioneer, as was Kerry Conran, the lonely genius responsible for the much praised, little-seen Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

In her memoir, Gussow offers this rather poetic meaning of local: "Within a day's leisurely drive of our homes. [This] distance is entirely arbitrary...

...G.O.P. side, McCain already has 21 of the biggest bundlers from the last Bush campaign, more than any other Republican hopeful. But Barry Wynn, a former Bush Pioneer and finance chair of his 2004 campaign, is helping Rudy Giuliani raise money in South Carolina. Giuliani's leadership post-9/11 was, of course, a factor in Wynn's choice. As for Rudy being a nontraditional Republican, for Wynn, that's exactly the point: "We need to rebuild the brand." Wynn committed after both Romney and McCain came calling. "Oh, I have had my lunches. And my breakfasts," he says with...
