...conventional wisdom, the two don't even overlap: Harvard is for the best and the brightest, 'Bama for the biggest and the brawniest. Cambridge has a Nobel prize-laden faculty, Tuscaloosa has the legacy of its great football coach, Paul "the Bear" Bryant...
...Sacrifice is only the seventh feature film in a career that began with the lyrical, prize-laden My Name Is Ivan (1962). Tarkovsky was just 30 then, the son of a renowned Soviet poet and the rising sun of the Soviet film establishment -- a cinema Yevtushenko. But soon his artistic intransigence and the supposed obscurity of his themes nettled the bureaucracy that financed his films.

A few years before he died in 1953, O'Neill was sent a photograph of his bygone birthplace, then a family hotel, since razed. In his thank-you note, the prize-laden (a Nobel and four Pulitzers) dramatist quipped about a figure, leaning against a lamppost in the picture's foreground, having "a bun on," was moved to reminisce: "In the old days, when I was born, a man−especially one from Kilkenny−went on a five-year...
