...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.

Above, there are 28 portraits arranged in two rows. The lower row is devoted to great religious figures; the upper pays tribute to thinkers and writers. The room is so lovingly and casually preserved, you never doubt that a great man once passed happy hours here...
...This is the only industry where the same small audience comes back every six months expecting something completely different," said Ghesquière 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 Ghesquière 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...
