Last summer, as he took a break on the Gaborone, Botswana,- set of his latest film, The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, Anthony Minghella was trying to put success into perspective. He had won an Oscar for 1996's The English Patient, a film that became so ingrained in the collective cinematic consciousness it had an episode of Seinfeld dedicated to it. He had worked with a selection of the A-list: Jude Law, Renee Zellwegger, Matt Damon, Nicole Kidman.

Not in an ugly way necessarily, but she cannot imagine that other people still have...
...power-play opportunities. “We did a much better job limiting their ability to get easy offense,” said head coach Ted Donato ’91. The Crimson’s special teams also proved crucial to Harvard’s success offensively. 37 seconds after Quinnipiac’s only goal of the game, sophomore Doug Rogers capitalized on a Bobcat penalty to put the momentum back in the Crimson’s favor. At 11:35 Rogers lit the lamp with a shot from the left side to put Harvard back...
