...light of day. Meanwhile, an NBC biopic on former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is also undergoing close scrutiny for its handling of the tragedy. Jeff Gaspin, an NBC executive vice president in charge of movies, says the network is trying to figure out how many script pages should be devoted to Sept. 11: "We're at the five- or six-page option in the first draft, and we have to see whether we want to expand that."

Mok is the earnest one, Zhao acts playful, while Shu Qi is the diabolical knockout, high kicking in her 10-cm stiletto heels. "It's a difficult thing to do, write about three women and the kind of relationship they have...
Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis ’68 officially declared open the 367th session of Harvard College, and he and Dean of Freshmen Elizabeth Studley “Ibby” Nathans stuck to their yearly script kidding new students about the long history of “inept” and now forgotten students that preceded them...
