...squall. Capsized boats. The Navy. Such words conjure up images of a disaster response. For the Harvard women’s sailing team last weekend, it was just part of a day at the races. The Crimson competed in the Navy Women’s Intersectional in Annapolis, Md. last weekend and placed 12th in a field of 19 teams with 194 points. St. Mary’s took first place with 76 points, winning nine of 20 races. The participating squads had to contend with harrowing weather. “The conditions were very, very weird on Saturday...

And yet, much like its revered progenitors, Gladiator works on such an impressive scale that it is able to overcome its dearth of originality. Ridley Scott has always enjoyed a somewhat undeserved reputation as a visual virtuoso (White Squall? GI Jane?), but this is one project in which his supposed visual prowess is on display full-force. Taking a page from the James Cameron playbook, Scott meticulously recreates the world of ancient Rome, capturing the most minute details from the bustling streets to the massive Coliseum. And the numerous...
