...known elsewhere as Ishtar - in animal form. She is one of the earliest of the gods whose names have survived through history. Before her sale, the most expensive piece of sculpture of any period sold at auction was a piece by Pablo Picasso which went for $29 million. The previous antiquities record was set by a Roman bronze which sold for $28 million...
...this and previous albums, Ringo defies the rock convention best articulated by Neil Young: "It's better to burn out/ Than to fade away." Ringo's compositions convey an upbeat personal philosophy (sample line: "You've got to love every breath that you breathe/ Look at the sky and believe"). Unsurprisingly, such sentiments bear a distinct resemblance to the tenets of the 12-step programs devised to help alcoholics and drug addicts. He and his wife have been clean-living since they checked into rehab in Arizona in October 1988; cocaine and alcohol were reputed to be their downfall. Ringo...
...Harvard. West lost the first game to Todd Harrity but answered back in the next game. West then found himself with his back against the wall as Harrity moved ahead, 2-1. But West composed himself and dug out a tough triumph, securing a Harvard win. In the previous matchup, the A team squared off against Ivy League rival Yale. Although it did not count as an official league contest, much could still be gained in the match. The Bulldogs had the home-court advantage going in, but the Crimson pulled out a 3-2 victory with solid play from...
...Weitz's only previous solo directorial feature-film credit was the 2002 About a Boy, where he proved he was a confident shepherd of child actors. But he's not up to helming a superproduction like this. (At one point he dropped out of directing the film for that very reason.) Faithful to the novels' narrative if not their philosophy, his movie bustles through the plot twists and lightning characterizations as if it were its own Cliff Notes, rarely taking the time to acquaint the audience with Lyra's allies and enemies. Even a genre film has to relax...
...relentlessly detailed, almost claustrophobic in its proportion of charts to text. The subject matter is not especially unusual for a Republican: cut government spending, cut taxes, be more competitive in the global marketplace. It's just that these sorts of arid managerial charts, the lifeblood of Romney's previous career as a consultant, generally don't fit the crowd-energizing mood of the political stump speech. It's less the "Fired up! Ready to go!" chant made famous in the resurgent Obama campaign than the hushed whisper of an E.F. Hutton TV spot...
