...coaching staff felt as if they were playing against both the Yale team and the referee squad. “The erratic calls got under our skin,” Delaney-Smith said. “Yale was allowed to be very physical where we got called for touch fouls.” Despite Harvard always looking the better team, the Bulldogs hung around until the very end. A big three from junior Niki Finelli put the Crimson up by 10 with just over four minutes to play, but the Bulldogs refused to go away. With the lead down...
...Trouble with Amy I applaud Josh Tyrangiel's defense of Amy Winehouse in his article "Trouble Woman" [Feb. 4]. She is a rare talent, and her music is a wonderful combination of Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin, with a touch of Otis Redding thrown in. She would have been very much at home at Stax Records.

Then “Lucky” moves on to the filler tracks. Subsequent songs channel Simon and Garfunkel...
...1920s rather than the original 18th century Italy. The show makes use of gramophones and cameras to make the production authentically anachronistic. Spellberg: It’s a darkly funny show and lends itself to a certain kind of flamboyance. It’s an opera that enjoys a touch of extravagance in a way that the ’20s had. To set it in the twentieth century would be to set it in a moment in history where the social world is about to crumble. The aristocratic social world is on its last legs, and the servants...
