...with a full backup band is priceless. Penelope, too, finds Max endearing and reveals herself to him, but runs away to the big city once she realizes he’s a spy. Her first stop in freedom is a pub where she meets Annie, a feisty, leather-clad, Vespa riding Reese Witherspoon (who also produced the movie).

Sometimes, certain Vespa Girls wore no underwear. Today's UI, still the state-run breeding ground for the nation's future leaders, is a very different place. Half the female student body striding across the campus near Jakarta wear the jilbab, a Muslim scarf that covers the head and neck. Student politics is dominated...
...last three Ivy league contests, Harvard’s offense had several opportunities early in the first half at the Lions’ net. Freshman midfielder Katie Varney started the Crimson’s array of attacks in the 21st minute, but was denied by Columbia goalkeeper Allison Vespa.
