...these films justification ended their director's careers, but several brilliant film-makers also emerged, such as Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut, Alain Resnais, Claude Chabrol, Chris Marker, and Jacques Demy.

Police fired warning shots over the heads of the rioters, but no one was killed, though scores were injured in scuffles, and property damage was high...
...Penn team has a lot of flaws, as their televised loss to Princeton last Saturday indicated. In the first place, their big men are a bunch of bums: they can't shoot and they can't rebound too well either. And Penn has absolutely no backcourt depth to give Neuman or Pawlak a rest...
