Last year, Harvard was the overall winner at the Intercollegiate Fencing Association (IFA) championships, the oldest collegiate fencing tournament in the nation. This season, a rebuilding Crimson team could not reach the top spot, but still fought hard and earned a third-place finish behind Penn and victorious Columbia. “It was a very strong performance by everybody,” Harvard coach Peter Brand said. “Frankly, we did much better than I expected. We had high energy and a very strong tournament.” Harvard had played every one of the 10 male...
Wrapping up their season, Harvard Alpine and Nordic ski teams invariably finished in the ninth spot at EISA Championships this weekend. Among the fourteen other schools at Middlebury, Vt., the Crimson secured its rank for the fifth and final time this winter. Victorious Dartmouth took the trophy with 928 total points. Men’s Alpine saw positive results with the return of captain Matt Basilico and the consistent placements of sophomore Christopher Kinner. Harvard’s top finisher in the slalom and giant slalom, Kinner landed the 32nd position in the two downhill events. Basilico was the next...
...some of those picks were. (“Around the World in 80 Days”? Really?) At least some of the clips of acceptance speeches from decades ago provided a glimpse into what the Academy Awards were like in the bygone days, before Nicholson was given his perma-spot in the front row.

That’s because the Oscars we know are a beast of a different species. The whole point...
...Northern Island town a decade ago. That TV film's script was co-written by Paul Greengrass, and Travis has borrowed some of the jittery camerabatics that Greengrass applied as director to of United 93and the last two episodes of the Jason Bourne saga. You can easily spot Travis's attempt at docudrama bona fides from the gritty cinematography. All the 50-plus mid-level stars - Quaid, Hurt, Weaver, Bruce McGill - are shot (I mean photographed) so unflatteringly that they look weary, lined, older than John McCain on one of his recent bad days...
...Afghanistan is in a tough spot. The country is reliant on the U.S. and NATO for its security and, at the same time, shares its longest land border with Iran. Afghanistan has long pleaded with the U.S. and Iran not to carry out their longstanding strategic rivalry on its soil. And for several years that request has been largely honored. Iran, a long-time supporter of the Northern Alliance, was instrumental in bringing about the fall of the Taliban. Iran has also helped more than any other neighbor with the reconstruction of the country. Since 2002, Tehran has pumped millions...
