...release. Yet the Israeli army which has controlled access to Nablus since the intifadeh erupted five years ago allowed Abu-Assad to film there. It was the first full-scale movie production the city had ever seen. Desperate for entertainment, residents elbowed each other for a front-row view of the daily shoots, and a few sharp locals rented plastic chairs to the crowds. Inevitably, the project also raised hackles among Palestinian paramilitaries. Feuding factions in some of the West Bank's refugee camps suspected that Abu-Assad - with an Israeli co-producer on the team - might undermine the martyrdom...
...match, Harvard fell by just two points in the third game before the Quakers put the match away in the fourth, winning 3-1 (30-20, 18-30, 30-28, 30-19) Friday night at The Palestra in Philadelphia, Pa. It was the second loss in a row for the Crimson, but the match did provide insight into what the team needs to work on if it wants to be successful for the remainder of the season. “We played well and together as a team, but where we have trouble is in pressure situations, mainly in keeping...

...side of the road. We drive west toward Pakistan and the earthquake epicenter. We pass through Uri, the nearest thing to a big town in this Indian Kashmir valley, where devastated houses barely stand at odd angles, missing walls from which crumbling rock and debris poured down. An entire row of shops has lost its front, as though sliced off by a blunt cheese wire, and bars of Lux soap, pastries and plastic toys spill out onto the street. We pass broken villages and military camps, including an artillery battery swamped by a mudslide, still vainly pointing toward Pakistan...
...This is the only industry where the same small audience comes back every six months expecting something completely different," said Ghesquire after his show last week. "I have a responsibility to them. I have to surprise them." He did exactly that, electrifying the front-row regulars with his rock-'n'-roll pantsuits and frothy Marie-Antoinette blouses. But Ghesquire also acknowledges the need to be commercial in order to bring a fabled house like Balenciaga back to life. And so he designs wildly popular handbags, like the hippie-style Lariat, and more accessible ancillary collections of pants...
