...fully formed state and with images that practically hummed with love for the city and its proletariat. "I was born here, I have always lived here and all my work is here," Yau said in the foreword. In his sense of place, he was to Hong Kong what Robert Doisneau was to Paris - a chronicler in black and white of the sooty streets and ordinary people at his city's heart. But in his consummate sensitivity to the decisive moment, Yau was sometimes reminiscent of the great Henri Cartier-Bresson, and, like the French master, carried wherever he went...

Fucito crossed to Nyamekye in the middle, and with defenders converging in around him, Nyamekye ripped a shot that became Harvard’s second goal of the day.

...action epics, back to his earliest films: Greetings! and Hi, Mom!, two innovative satires on the Vietnam War.

Robert Putnam, the famed Harvard political scientist who wrote about the decline of civic engagement in Bowling Alone, recently released a new study that showed the more diverse a community is, the less people care about and engage with that community. Diversity, in fact, seems to breed distrust and disengagement. The study lands in the midst of a rackety immigration debate, but even if all immigration were to cease tomorrow, we would still...
...Douglas to Michael Moore. The new hot couple, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, will show up to promote their politically charged drama Rendition; and perpetual hottie Brad Pitt will light up the city when he appears in support of his western, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Rock icons Lou Reed and Eddie Vedder will be there, as will former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, the subject of Jonathan Demme's documentary Man from Plains...
