...prime male icons of the Eisenhower-Kennedy era. Bond occasionally engaged in fisticuffs with a brigand, but that was just a different kind of workout. As played by Sean Connery and Roger Moore from the '60s through the '80s, Bond greeted each new threat to his life with an upper-class smile...

...audience in its pernicious spell. But it seems that “Gossip Girl” (or, at least, “Gossip Girl” copycatting) has decided to re-infect the literary world. A number of recent novel covers seem to evoke a certain aura of Upper East Side teen girl-dom, almost as if to say, “Spotted: a novel you might enjoy!” WHAT I SAW AND HOW I LIED by Judy Blundell A delicate, raven-haired young woman applies lipstick as she peers fearfully into the darkness that surrounds her.

...received a ball up top and played it through the defense to freshman Melanie Baskind. The pass allowed Baskind to advance toward goal on a breakaway. Before she could shoot, however, the freshman was fouled in the box. Junior Lizzy Nichols emphatically finished the ensuing penalty kick into the upper left corner. The golden goal ended the game and gave Harvard its first Ivy League title since 1999. The Crimson has been on a tear over the past month, and Hagner is a major reason why. In its last eight games, Harvard is 7-0-1, and all of Hagner?...
