They've Got Game Lev Grossman painted a wonderful picture of Halo 3, making it sound like the next game of the year [Sept. 10]. He stated that the story is "rich and complicated in ways that we're not used to in video games." But long before Halo 3 was conceived, there were The Legend of Zelda and the Castlevania and Metroid series. Even the more recent Mario games have a deep story line.

Well aware of how easily a famous preacher could be destroyed by financial or sexual scandal, Graham took pains early on to protect himself from both. He insisted that crusade accounts be audited and published in the local papers when the crusade was finished.

The Harvard Polo Club, which has struggled to find a permanent place at the University since the late 19th century, jockeyed to victory in its first game of the school year against the Myopia Polo Club in South Hamilton. Polo has a long and rich history at Harvard. It was a popular pastime in the 1800s and returned sporadically in the past century. Last school year, a group of students revived the club with the help of head coach Crocker Snow Jr. ’61. Harvard’s men’s team...
They're both rich and famous, they're both notoriously earnest and left-leaning, they both have reputations for being emotionally tortured. So it makes a kind of cosmic sense that Sean Penn and Pearl Jam front man Eddie Vedder would be friends; they have been since 1995, when Vedder wrote music for Dead Man Walking, in which Penn starred. Both are currently experiencing second acts, Penn as a director and Vedder as a film composer. The duo have now collaborated: Vedder has written the sound track for Penn's movie Into the Wild, based on the book...
