...Harvard made a move to gain ground on Yale with under 700 meters remaining.“I wasn’t sure how much we could pull off,” Caplan said. “But when I realized we had closed the gap with them somewhat, I told them to bring it up and made it clear that they were taking ground. The guys literally flew when they realized that the speed we had was enough to take them past Yale.”Harvard, so untested in the final 1000 meters all season long, put together...
...more than an hour for her. "I'm really excited to have my new video game Diamond Quest." Er, what? Promotional materials at the E3 booth called it Paris Hilton's Jewel Jam, while the E3 website said it's Jewl Jam. (Later, the game's developer, Gameloft, said--somewhat implausibly--that Paris was right.) In any case, the puzzle-like game is meant to allow players to "party with Paris Hilton anytime." And that's probably about as close to the socialite as the geeks will ever...
George W. Bush likes his briefings short and concise, so it was somewhat unusual when the President requested some particularly verbose reading material aboard Air Force One last week. Rather than peruse another dry policy paper, Bush was more interested in a rambling 18-page polemic that, among other things, argued that U.S. policies do not comport with Christian values.

Even for a company known for its winning, edgy marketing, that is a hat trick. By creating a youth-driven buzz so crucial to its leadership in the multibillion-dollar sneaker wars, Nike, based in Beaverton, Ore.the largest sporting-goods company...
...striking grand poses does not appear to be part of Gehry?s emotional repertoire. Which brings us to the most interesting enigma this film explores, which is the nature of the artist?s ego. Ours is a democratic era, and democracy tends to reward regular guys and to look somewhat askance at people who do extraordinary things. How many people have you run into who confess that they might have become architects, if only? Same way with movie directors, with people who were good at writing in high school and so on. We need to believe that Frank Gehry...
