...knew it’d be competitive, but again we hoped to do better than fourth.”The second varsity eight made the day a little sweeter with a second place finish in its event. Although it trailed Wisconsin from the beginning, Radcliffe pulled out a seven-seat lead coming into the half-way mark. Never looking back, the rowers crossed the line in 7:19, ending the season with silver medals around their necks. As the rest of the team focuses on exams and the beginning of summer, the varsity lightweight eight will have an opportunity...
...Florida Gov. Charlie Crist's May 12 announcement that he will run for Senate instead of reelection in 2010 was rare good news for the flailing GOP.

So Howard must have found L'Osservatore Romano's genial review an unexpected blessing, somewhere between a celebratory puff of white smoke and the mild penance of 10 Our Fathers and 10 Hail Marys.

...Tarantino, who's as much a movie fan as a moviemaker, is always welcome here; last year his two-hour conversation with film critic Michel Ciment filled the 900-seat Debussy theater to overflowing. Inglourious Basterds marks his first competition effort since he copped the Palme d'Or, Cannes' top prize, in 1994 with Pulp Fiction. His war movie, with Pitt leading a squad of Jewish-American soldiers against the Nazis, is the centerpiece selection a week from today. (See pictures of Hitler's rise to power...
