...Japanese film derives much of its strength from its claustrophobic confinement to a horrendous time and place. Haggis' work gains its power from its confident range. The screenplay starts with the Americans on the beaches and the protagonists raising the flag. It follows them on their vulgar war-bond tour (they were obliged to re-enact the flag raising on a papier-mâché Suribachi at Soldier Field in Chicago) and then traces their postwar descent into dream-tossed anonymity. You could argue that the Japanese were the lucky ones: their government and religion foreordained their fate, and they...
...teams—on both ends of the ice—in the country. But officials whistled Harvard for 23 penalties last weekend, and numbers like those would all but kill the Crimson’s chances against Cornell tomorrow night. “I think one of our strengths is our depth and the fact that four lines can all skate and make plays,” said Harvard coach Ted Donato ’91, “but when we get into a man-up, man-down type of game, it shortens our bench and makes...

Boe made a name for herself a year ago, posting an impressive .911 save percentage and finishing sixth in the nation with a 1.86 goals...
Despite the strength of both its returning swimmers and newcomers, the Harvard men know that their Ivy League foes will be in hot pursuit of the EISL title currently in Crimson possession. Princeton, which last claimed the EISL crown in 2004, finished second to the Crimson in last year’s EISL meet...
