...deserted neighborhoods fringing an old cemetery to squeeze between its graves. Agha's factory is his living room, where he has put his two wives and 11 children to work, cutting, shaping and gluing the intricate tissue-paper mosaics that make his kites stand out for their beauty and superior handling. The secret is in the glue, he says, holding up a pot of evil-smelling green paste. "No one knows my recipe for making a glue that stays perfectly flat when it dries, without rippling the tissue paper," he says. Business is so good these days that Agha...
...Harvard’s last matchup with Yale, an 88-78 loss at Lavietes Pavilion in which the shooting guard miss seven of 10 shots. In that game, Goffredo was hounded by defensive stopper Casey Hughes, an athletic 6’5, 200-pound forward who used his superior length and quickness to contest every Goffredo jumper.

She could not have even afforded to put on the upcoming open house, which she hopes to do once a semester from now on, without PTA assistance. Foothill was one of 16 schools nationwide to receive nearly $2,000 from the national PTA as part of the organization...
...bear any resemblance to certain Cold War-era spies, who served communist ideology out of some sort of (misplaced) idealism. It was rather the opposite with him. Slowly, it steals across you that he was acting out of the desire to prove just how smart he was, how superior he was to his, well, superiors. Does he suspect them of suspecting him? The movie doesn't say, but one rather thinks that, in his arrogance, he did not. It doesn't toy with the possibility that he may have wanted to be caught, either. But it would have been logical...
