...Consider their résumés: Christina Ricci, born Feb. 12, 1980, first noticed when she was 10 in Mermaids (as the sister of another child siren, Winona Ryder), then certifying her kid stardom a year later as Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family. Natalie Portman, born June 9, 1981, zoomed to stardom in Luc Besson's Leon, a.k.a. The Professional, when she was 12.

Caught up in the paranoia, Nathanial retreats back to the rich and stable relationships that he has with his loving stepfather and mute sister. Baxter’s characters are obliquely formed through third-party description, and their identities are further confused by paranoid and erratic actions that the reader can’t understand. In “The Soul Thief,” the gaze of others constitutes one’s self...
...that third period came from freshman forward Rebecca Johnston, Cornell’s leading scorer. Johnston has racked up 16 goals and 15 assists this season, and her 1.29 points per game average is good for fourth in the nation among rookies.Johnston—who is the younger sister of former Crimson player Katie Johnston ’07—was announced as the unanimous choice for Ivy League Rookie of the Year earlier this week.“She’s highly skilled and she’s had international experience,” Cahow said...
