...tears started during the '90s teen drama Party of Five, on which Fox played the flop-haired, put-upon head of an orphaned family. Unhappy with playing a character that was more a prepubescent girl's fantasy of a man than a real one, Fox overhauled himself. "I decided I'd drop out for two years and do theater in Los Angeles and fall on my face. And then I would come back and change my looks," he says about having shaved his head. I believe that his career hiatus was actually planned not only because of his extraordinary earnestness...
...individual who will aggressively and proactively address these challenges will likely not be an uncontroversial choice. The Faculty is set in its ways and content with its perch in the ivory tower so long as their personal fiefdoms are not intruded upon. Alumni are nostalgic for the way things used to be. And students—often the most discontented—will be alumni in less than four years and typically don’t feel the influence of Harvard’s president in the short term.

After exams ended, the Harvard men’s hockey team faced its biggest test of the season when it embarked upon a three-game road trip against the top three teams in the ECAC.

The 7’0 frame of Harvard’s big man was forced to bear a weighty burden of expectation for his Ivy impact immediately upon arrival, a burden that he was prevented from throwing off by an inability to stay healthy or display the inside dominance his physical size and skill-set demanded. Continued difficulty adding weight has likely led to some of Cusworth’s injury history—he completely missed...
...Generally, Hizballah and its mainly pro-Syrian allies seek to wrest Lebanon away from the orbit of the United States and keep it at the forefront of the struggle against Israel. The anti-Syrian parliamentary majority, which forms the backbone of the government and includes the Sunnis, has seized upon the support of the West and its Arab allies such as Saudi Arabia to break Syria's grip on Lebanon. Damascus was forced to withdraw its troops from Lebnaon following the February 2005 assassination of Rafik Hariri, a former premier, whose death many Lebanese blame on the Syrian regime...
