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...
ELLIS ISLAND STEPHEN WILKES Sixteen years ago, the north side of Ellis Island, the famed New York entry point for generations of immigrants, was magnificently renovated. But the hospital compound on the south side, where many arrivals were held in quarantine, was left to decay. For five years, Wilkes roamed the disintegrating buildings, with their cracked plaster and peeling paint, to make pictures of their gorgeous decrepitude.

Alsbury was able to drop a disc into an unattended, logged-on computer: a Trojan Horse virus could then download itself and allow him to hack the credit union's system. "There was nothing more we could have...
...with only 30 minutes of rest between events. First-year Harvard coach Jason Saretsky said that he was especially pleased by Flahive’s performance, considering that this was “her first run of the season.” On the men’s side, co-captain Christian Ayers won the collegiate men’s weight throw and set a new personal best by throwing the weight 16.55 meters. Ayers said that he was “really excited” about his new personal best, and looks to be among the best throwers...
