...were making the movie, Rain Man was on TV, and I came home and watched it. Rain Man really kicked my ass, because Barry Levinson is so good at creating a world of characters where every little twitch matters. And those are my favorite—movies that remind you that everything counts, that people watch everything, and that they see so much more than you’d ever dream they would. And in the same way, every little frame in this movie is packed with stuff, and everything the characters say matters. Any movie that you watch...
...Council, and in interviews with The Crimson, Summers spoke of honoring those who serve the nation. A former Cabinet secretary, Summers has shown his own deep commitment to public service through his actions. We are heartened that he has used the bully pulpit that the Harvard presidency affords to remind us of our responsibilities during these difficult times.

Even his smiling children are standing by stacks of forlorn wrecked cars or waving guns. Perhaps...
...Ming hopes to build a Shaolin temple in rural upstate New York, where the mountains remind him of his old home. But the project needs cash and right now he's too short on "green qi." So, predictably perhaps, he's turning his attention to a movie career. Director Jim Jarmusch, who gave him a small role in Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, believes the qualities that make Yan Ming such a funky monk will also serve him well as an actor. "I love his contradictions," says Jarmusch, "he's so playful and yet he has the potential...
