...similarities between the situations, there is hope that Harvard will continue to avoid such troubling issues. Harvard’s athletics atmosphere, while very competitive on the field, is less intense and isolated than that of other colleges. While athletes at other institutions live in special housing or in tight-knit groups off campus, Harvard athletes are spread throughout the college, whether they block together or not. The rape in question at Duke occurred at an off-campus party in a house rented by some lacrosse players, but high rents and police presence in Cambridge help make such situations, which...
...DeLay: Exactly. (Both DeLays chuckle.) I had more for me than against me. We did a poll right after the primary and it hadn't changed very much. The trends were still very tight and very close. I had a little bit better than a 50-50 chance of winning reelection.

The business of the film is to explain why this amiable hunk is being circled by spooky Mr. Goodkat (a tight-lipped Bruce Willis), a wise-guy cop (Stanley Tucci) and two crime lords (Ben Kingsley and Morgan Freeman). To call the film's plot labyrinthine is to understate the case. To say it works out with complete plausibility is to overstate it. Still, the story never runs completely off the rails and is, in any event, just a pretext for a lot of very sharp badinage by Jason Smilovic--a screenwriter who would have been...
People once expected coffee to be inexpensive too, counters Richard George, a professor of food marketing at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. "Just look at Starbucks." The biggest hazard, he says, is maintaining quality across hundreds of outlets. Yeganeh hopes to avoid that by maintaining tight control over production. All the soup sold will be made at two locations, one in Indiana and the other in New Jersey, using a preparation process designed and supervised by Yeganeh...
