...called attention to a number of changes to be made in the School. Earlier in the year the appointment of Professor Jean Jacques Haffner as Professor of Architectural Design had been announced. Professor Haffner, a graduate of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and holder of the much coveted Prix de Rome, commenced to teach here last January. He will take charge of the courses in design and will bring to Harvard the instruction, criticism, and inspiration that our students in the past have so often had to seek abroad. Professor Humphreys; himself a fellow student with Professor Haffner in Paris...
There are two sorts of British movie - the kind that wins awards, and the kind that makes money. Lynne Ramsay has been known for writing and directing the first kind since 1995, when Small Deaths, a short she made in film school, won the Prix du Jury at Cannes. Her third short, Gasman, took the big prize at Cannes too and the 32-year-old Scot's first full-length film, Ratcatcher, became an art-house hit. But with her latest effort, a psycho road movie called Morvern Callar, Ramsay may finally be positioned for box-office success. Her movie...
...Ferrari team from waltzing away with next year's championship, as they have done this season. Since Ferrari wrapped up Michael Schumacher's record-equaling fifth drivers' championship in July, Ecclestone has been under pressure from sponsors, advertisers and TV companies that have seen viewing figures for Grands Prix plummet - only 4 million Britons watched the U.S. race two weeks ago compared with 7 million last year.

At the athletics track the crowd had hoped to see U.S. sprinter Tim Montgomery, fresh from setting a new 100-m world record at the season's last Grand Prix event in Paris. Montgomery had clipped .01 seconds off Maurice Greene's three-year-old record of 9.79, but so drained was he by the record-breaking effort that the World Cup 100 m became a race too far. He did turn up in Seville though, to watch girlfriend Marion Jones...
...season has become a bit of a bore. The Ferraris have been so strong that unless the two red cars take each other out on the first corner, no one else has a chance of catching them. Having wrapped up his fifth drivers' championship in the French Grand Prix at the end of July, Michael Schumacher had a nice relaxed Sunday afternoon following teammate Rubens Barrichello round the Hungaroring circuit three races later to give the team the constructors' championship too, with points totaling more than those of the next three teams together. Ferrari is so far ahead of nearest...
