...Hardwicke, who directed the teen outsider films Thirteen, Lords of Dogtown and The Nativity Story (another fable about a special girl with a condition that's hard to explain), is no great shakes as an auteur. She dawdles in sketching Bella's high school chums, and her direction of the dialogue will often bore those who aren't mouthing it from memory as the actors speak it. But she chose her leads wisely: the pretty Stewart is a questioning, questing presence; the Brit Pattinson, a sensitive-stud dreamboat. And Hardwicke is faithful to the book's chaste eroticism. The couple...
...Pizzotti passes to Chrissis gets five yards. A quick three and out and Penn will get the ball with plenty of time left. This looks bad. To provide some historical scope here, Harvard is just 1-12 in its last thirteen contests here at Franklin Field (dating back to 1982). History is not on Harvard's side...

The following day, President Herbert Hoover went on the radio to reassure the American people, saying "The fundamental business...
...what's the "old horror" that you would recommend to readers? I would say Frankenstein and Dracula, those two should be read. They aren't anything at all alike. There's a great novella by Arthur Machen called "The Great God Pan." Knocked my socks off when I was thirteen. Anything by Shirley Jackson. The Haunting of Hill House or The Demon Lover, which is a fabulous story-very eerie, but completely realistic. It suggests that there's a realm that we are very close to, but cannot quite apprehend, a realm that may not be very friendly...
