Hollywood royalty from different generations - Clint Eastwood, 78, as director-producer and Angelina Jolie, 33, as star - strike an agreeable but uneasy artistic entente in the period drama Changeling. When the movie had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this May, the two were instantly dubbed Clangelina, and they looked quite the handsome couple on the red carpet. But this bustling, complex picture is hobbled by something neither an Academy Award-winning director nor a seductive star can overcome: miscasting...
...tennis team and its co-captain Chris Clayton entered the Wilson/ITA Northeast Tennis Regional tournament with tremendous expectations on its shoulders. Clayton found himself the No. 1 seed in the tournament both in the singles and in the doubles, and the Crimson hoped to see its star player secure victories in both of these events. With victories in the 96-player singles draw and the 24-pair doubles draw, the senior did just this. Clayton played with sophomore Alexei Chijoff-Evans in the doubles draw.

Speaking as a solider who rose from a raw recruit in the 1950s to the Army's top job 35 years later, Powell said, "We've got to stop polarizing ourselves in this...
...tempted to take Zimbabwe as the story of Africa. But if Mugabe is the most famous living example of an African tyrant, evidence of a very different Africa has never been far away. Botswana, which shares a border with Zimbabwe, has for decades been mainland Africa's brightest star, a country that has gone from dustbowl poverty to middle income status in a generation, where elections are peaceful, politicians retire voluntarily, civil society is vibrant and where natural resources (in Bostwana's case, diamonds) are not a curse or a spur to corruption and violent theft, but a blessing shared...
