They couldn't have a model that's smarter, snazzier or more moving, kinetically and emotionally, than Lasseter's Cars, which opens June 9. "I love having inanimate objects come to life," he says, ever the boy who can't stop tinkering and dreaming. All the characters are cars, but they're engagingly human. The lands they inhabit are richly detailed (thanks to years of research by Lasseter, co-director Joe Ranft and their team) and worlds apart: the NASCAR circuit, where autos and egos collide at 180 m.p.h., and a 1950s-ish town, keeping a sense of community...
...going to score. I felt like it should’ve been us.”That was the story throughout the game.The Crimson took more than double the number of shots that Dartmouth did, 73-36, but when it came down to it, Dartmouth took the smarter shots.After Harvard came out strong, scoring twice in the first 1:31 on an unassisted goal from junior Greg Cohen and a senior-to-senior score from Tom Boylan to Sean Kane, the drought began.

Ozzie Guillen’s assertion last October that he was smarter than many Harvard students was dissected at length on the site, complete with a reference to a tiger in the Leverett Junior Common Room. As far as I can tell this beast has never been sighted, but one can assume only an insider could know of such a phenomenon...
...This is, of course, a reassuring - though not necessarily a provable - thought. And the movie cheats a little with the Gornickes. They turn out to be better educated than they appear to be. They have chosen their bus, and their home-schooled children are both smarter and less anxious than the Munro kids. On the other hand, if we are truly an open society, we have to be open to learn to reserve judgment, to entertain the possibility that things (and people) are not necessarily what they seem at first glance to be. That thought sometimes applies to movies...
