...worship. “The lifeblood of our organization,” Brewer says, “is our fellowship in Christ and through the Mass.” Lifeblood, lynchpin? Bible study, fellowship in Christ? You’d think Brewer and Bryant were reading from the same script. And their similarities go beyond vocabulary—their missions, also, seem essentially identical: Lee says that the HRCF helps “people to know Jesus Christ better,” while Sarah E. Stein ‘08, the CSA’s Vice President of Communications...
...victory also validated the old rule that the Editing Oscar is the savviest predictor for Best Picture. The theory is that people, even Academy members, don?t know much about the craft of editing-the extent to which the cuts in a film are determined by the script-so they vote for the movie with the most stuff going on. Crash was certainly the busiest film nominated. And the noisiest. Whereas the other four nominees (Brokeback, Capote, Munich and Good Night, and Good Luck.) kept seeking reconciliation within their social and political conflicts, Crash let its arguments bubble over, like...
...Saturday later, Clarkson flipped the script on Harvard.A week after the Crimson notched a final-minute game-tying goal on the road against the Golden Knights and followed with a last-second score to earn the victory and home ice for the ECAC quarterfinals, Clarkson responded to another late Harvard equalizer with a sudden-death game-winner of its own to prevail, 2-1, and push the playoff series to a decisive third game.

Whether you're mindless or Mensa, you'll find stuff here to challenge and trouble you, the way a good piece of speculative fiction should...
...weird that the original 1980s comic book, an updating of the Guy Fawkes tale ("Remember, remember, the 5th of November"), should so eerily foretell the 2001 bombing of another famous building (Remember, remember, the 11th of September). It's more audacious still that the Wachowskis, rather than scrubbing their script clean of 9/11 references, would emphasize the connection, proposing a dapper quasi-hero who is part Zorro (with the fancy swordplay), part Phantom of the Opera (but with a jukebox in his underground lair instead of a pipe organ) and just a smidge of Osama bin Laden (but with tastes...
