...margin was not as slim last weekend--the Harvard men's swimming and diving team (4-0, 4-0 Ivy) handed Brown a 181-119 defeat on Saturday. Although the competition started off slowly, the Crimson went on to capture eight out of nine events in the second half, securing yet another win for its undefeated season...
...leave you someday," a slim beguiler (Zhou Xun) asks her beau, "would you look for me forever?" This being a film noir, Shanghai-style, she has to drown in the dirty Suzhou River, then re-emerge as someone else. She could be Kim Novak in Vertigo, hijacked into a James M. Cain plot and photographed in the grainy, high-contrast glamour of a Wong Kar-wai romance. Lou Ye lays out a ravishing wasteland of femmes fatales and lovelorn tough guys--all in 79 minutes. So it's in Mandarin? After Crouching Tiger that's no longer an excuse...

Many students are referred off campus for treatment, and the college's counselors may lack the time--or the right--to check on them...
...present, the likelihood that this particular vaccine or this particular secretase inhibitor will end up in the therapeutic arsenal has to be considered slim. Of all the compounds his team brings forward, says Molinoff, only 10% to 15% manage to pass the rigorous series of tests that lead to approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. And even when they do, Harvard University neurologist Dr. Kenneth Kosik emphasizes, precious few new drugs prove to be anything close to magic bullets. Indeed, Kosik, along with many others, thinks it is quite likely that controlling Alzheimer's disease will require more...
