...feisty Terriers’ penetration into the lane got BU 30 free throws to the Crimson’s 13.“That’s a mental mistake,” Hallion said. “A Division I team shouldn’t shoot 30 percent from the line.”The Terriers, despite their smaller size, also successfully defended against Harvard inside the paint. The Crimson opened the game with six quick baskets in the low post, but BU implemented an aggressive halfcourt man-to-man defense that stymied Crimson guard play and forced Harvard...
LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA Last year, as he was preparing to shoot Flags of Our Fathers, his caustic epic about the U.S. invasion of Iwo Jima, Clint Eastwood got a script by his researcher, Iris Yamashita, about the soldiers on the other side of the battle and the losing side of the war. That cued Eastwood to make an Iwo Jima diptych and, after scouting Japanese filmmakers, to direct it himself (though he doesn't speak the language). The result is a unique, bifocal view of ground war--the men who fight it, the propaganda attending it, the awful...
...which Lynch films are made. A script? Not so much. Because he's considered an auteur, Lynch was able to convene a cast, including Jeremy Irons and Harry Dean Stanton, before he wrote Empire.

Taylor, then 21, was on his first assignment at Hawaii's Wheeler Field on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941. Hearing machine-gun fire, he grabbed Welch and drove to their planes. "I wasn't in the least bit terrified," he later said. "I was too young and too stupid to realize that...
...we’re so lucky he is working with us. He commands control on the court, and he helps us out every scrimmage,” Rollins said. “He gives you a lot of confidence—saying things like, ‘Come on, shoot over me, you know you can make it’.”But the majority of the male scout team has not achieved the same limelight and exposure Puchtel experienced last year. They are former high-school or JV players simply looking for a competitive outlet...
