BOSTON—Entering this, the 54th annual Beanpot tournament, Boston University had won 11 consecutive first-round games. And in last night’s opener against Harvard in TD Banknorth Garden, the Terriers led for all but the first 83 seconds en route to a 5-3 triumph and yet another first-Monday-in-February victory. “I thought we were ready for this,” said Crimson captain Peter Hafner. “I thought we were confident going in.” But the numbers are cruel, really. There are the 12 straight...
...seems especially apt for a generation that grew up humming “Colors of the Wind.” If cartoon “Pocahontas”—complete with singing raccoon friends and pervaded by a sugary-sweet insistence that love does, in fact, triumph over all—was a staple of childhood, Malick’s latest endeavor is appropriate to the end of adolescence, from the characters’ introspective first-person voice-overs with their unabashed expression of idealism, to the casting of “heartthrob” Colin Farrell...

...chaos or scandal. No candidates have officially announced for this year's vote, but former Economic Minister Rafael Correa, a strong critic of the IMF, free trade and the United States, could be a contender. He may find himself up against another candidate inspired by the left-wing, nativist triumph of Evo Morales in Bolivia: Auki Tituana, the mayor of the Indian ecotourism enclave Cotacachi, not far from the capital of Quito. Leon Roldos, the brother of the late President Jaime Roldos, is also a possible candidate. Money still is a powerful weapon, however, and the banana plantation magnate Alvaro...
