...Dorm Crew has got to be the most flexible job on the planet, or at least, here at Harvard,” says Stefan A. Zebrowski-Rubin ’08, who was working six to 10 hours a week for Dorm Crew before he was hired for Let’s Go and quit. “Come in when you can. Do you as many hours as you can. It’s really...
...bought eight years ago by Chicago's Field Museum for $8.4 million, the biggest bucks ever spent on a dinosaur fossil, plenty of jaws of the human variety dropped. Sue, the largest and most intact Tyrannosaurus rex found anywhere, has proved to be the most marketable dinosaur on the planet. The museum last week celebrated Sue's fifth "birthday" (she was first unveiled in 2000) with theater performances, dino-size puppets and super-size cakes.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, marking its premiere at the 58th Cannes Film Festival, conquered world cinema as surely as the Jedi knights vanquished their intergalactic foes.

Melodies are everywhere; they just take a while to emerge because Albarn...
...hard for diplomats from Washington and Seoul to forge a common strategy for defusing the crisis. After years of regarding North Koreans as bitter enemies, the prosperous, democratic South now holds a benign view of the hunger-wracked police state. To southerners, North Koreans may be brothers from another planet (as the International Crisis Group put it), but they are brothers just the same, impoverished relations deserving help, not international censure and isolation. Many South Koreans?including some government officials?are more worried that Washington could respond to a Pyongyang provocation with military action, plunging the peninsula into war. From...
