...some faculty members may say that they won't admit new students at this point because too much material has already been covered. If you do manage to find a class that will let you in, remember that there's also a $10 add/drop fee. But that's a small price to pay for a happier semester...
...death in his apartment by an intruder, to his new thriller The Ghost Writer, Polanski has plumbed the themes of isolation, persecution and claustrophobia. In 1963 Polanski gained international attention, and a TIME cover, with Knife in the Water, which trapped two men and a woman on a small boat to play out their sexual rivalries.

Until Vancouver, Weibrecht's calling card was an electrifying run at the Birds of Prey downhill in Beaver Creek, Colorado, a couple of years ago that both impressed and terrified the U.S. coaching staff.

Svindal won the gold by covering the course in 1:30.34, edging Miller...
...every three days the volunteers work, however, they get a sticker with a picture of Quatchi, one of the Olympic mascots, stamped on the back of their identification badge. For every Quatchi sticker, they might get a pin or some other small token of appreciation. And once they get three or four Quatchi stickers, rumor has it, the volunteers get a Swatch...
