...1970s, when his stardom was at its most luminous--with The Sting, The Way We Were, Condor and All the President's Men--he preferred the Utah mountains to Beverly Hills, taking three- and four-year breaks from acting. Except for a romance with actress Sonia Braga, whom he directed in The Milagro Beanfield War (1988), his private life has seldom drawn the spotlight. He has had only one marriage, to Lola Van Wagenen, which ended after 27 years, in 1985. And none of his three grown kids appears to have a Daddy Dearest story to tell...
Just like last year, the Crimson managed to lessen the sting of a fourth-place Ivy finish by playing strong in the NCAA tournament. Harvard’s epic quadruple -overtime victory against Hartford last Thursday made the Crimson one of just 10 programs nationwide to reach the second round of NCAAs each of the past five seasons...

Everything was backlogged...
...songwriters. In the glory days of Tin Pan Alley, so-called songpluggers used to accost vaudeville vocalists, pushing them to perform their new compositions in hopes that they would make them into hits. New York is still just as aggressive, just as hungry, when it comes to songwriting. If Sting (who has an apartment in New York) could get a song out of the Cold War ("Russians"), surely today?s other New York-area performers will find meaning and inspiration in the city?s recent history. Already, New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen has written a song that deals with...
