...evening - or daytime, as they call it on the West Coast, where the glamorati have to put on their Gaultier gowns and Armani tuxes right after lunch - it seemed as if Oscar might be following the Super Bowl, the Grammys and the Democratic presidential primaries in providing a slate of improbable winners. Cotillard, who poured her 5ft. 6in. frame into the shivering, shimmering 4ft. 8in. personality of chanteuse Edith Piaf, was only the second Best Actress winner from a foreign-language film. (Sophia Loren won in 1962 for Two Women.) Swinton, a Brit much admired for her fearless choice...

After winning a thrilling opener at Dartmouth, the Crimson was a little sluggish out of the final exams gate in late January, dropping an eight-point decision in New Haven. Harvard reeled off 12 straight wins following that loss, but the “L” in its loss...
...While we are skeptical of trayless dining as a “great conversation starter” for any undergrad’s next date (the ninth reason listed in the pamphlet), we fully support this initiative. The experiment in eating is only one of a slate of green initiatives HUDS has undertaken in recent months, and it marks a commitment to environmental and sustainable living that is realistic in its expectations of community members. Asking Harvard undergraduates to substantially reform their diets and food habits, for instance, would be a futile task, but asking them simply to forgo...
