...case of one Harvard applicant I met while on vacation in Montana, trying to impose the affirmative action model is absurd. I arrive at our meeting wearing a herringbone grey jacket from Brooks Brothers and accompanying dress slacks (Harvard taking its toll?) and he in a flannel jacket, a Wrangler button-clasp shirt and tight boot-cut jeans. The applicant comes from a ranch in the outlying area; his family raises Angus steers, and we talk for a little while about mad cow disease, about which he is extremely well-informed. Even with the mad cow scourge (which is really...
...trip. After his car clocked out of the courthouse garage at 11:40 p.m. on Wednesday, his route to Pennsylvania was not that of a man driving at gunpoint or of thugs with a prisoner in the trunk. It was oddly circuitous and left a clear electronic trail.

Due to injuries to senior Dave McCulloch and freshman Dylan Reese, the Crimson will only dress five defensemen.

At this point, the patient needs insulin injections to survive. Even with insulin, though, the complications of Type 1 disease can take a terrible toll. By age 55, for example, 35% of victims have died of a heart attack. Kidney failure is also common, and after 15 years of the disease, 80% of Type 1 diabetics have sustained significant eye damage...
...depictions of hand-to-hand combat; a certain raw, muddy brutality to Cruise's training for those moments; and both epic sweep and powerful detail to the big battles. By way of contrast, there is a handsome geometric austerity to the way Zwick and his director of photography, John Toll, show court life and intimate life in a Japan trembling on the brink of modernity...
