...soared as it prepped to meet the Tigers. But Harvard incurred deficits in both games due to uncharacteristically shaky performances by Haviland and Cole and an unusually anemic offensive showing. The campaign featured the continuing ascendancy of Haviland, Vance, and Wilson; the dynamic swan songs of standout seniors like slick-fielding shortstop and captain Morgan Brown; and the emergence of untapped talents like Brunnig, who in addition to going 4-0 on the mound, hit well in the designatted hitter spot, Chris Mackey, who contributed solid play in left field, and Meehan, who hit .330 in 22 starts...
...matter how slick and ordinary Silk might have been, I was in a party mood because of the film I'd seen just before it: Paolo Sorrentino's A Friend of the Family. Sorrentino's The Consequences of Love, a gorgeous-looking dark comedy about a fastidious hit man, was one of the lovely surprises of Cannes 2004 and a winner of the Best Film, Screenplay and Director prizes at the Donatello Awards, Italy's equivalent to the Oscars. The new movie trumps the earlier one, creating a small-town Italian cosmos where love and greed, Venus and venality...
Ongoing concerns over fuel costs and aviation security make this an interesting time to be starting an airline, but StarFlyer (www.starflyer.jp), a new Japanese carrier, is hoping that its combination of no-frills reservation procedures and slick cabin environments will help it win customers in a cutthroat market.

Once on board, passengers enjoy a chic, black interior and an Internet connection in every seat. Personal video screens...
...hickish cowboy with his ceaseless spout of “Mama says.” His exaggerated western drawl, slouched walk, and eager country boy expressions are indisputably the icing of the show. Priour seems born for the part, effortlessly transitioning from his role this past March as the slick Billy Flynn in “Chicago.”Good choreography is a necessary force for any musical, but for “Footloose” in particular, and here, the choreography is brilliant. Jennings deserves high praise for her work—dance numbers that easily fit both...
...Back then, Bettie Page was caviar only to the purchasers of girlie mags, tatty titles like Titter, Whisper and Wink, where she was the preeminent pinup queen of her day, maybe any day. (She was also the 13th model to grace the centerfold of a new slick magazine called Playboy.) As a movie actress she had a different appeal, limited but intense. Bettie was rich Corinthian leather to connoisseurs of specialized, and at the time subterranean, erotica - the kind that showed women, dressed in black undergarments and stockings, and pumps with six-inch heels, getting spanked, trussed and gagged...
