...squad. The year-end tournament was held this past weekend in Columbus, Ohio. Senior Teddy Sherrill was among four All-Americans for the Crimson and led the team with a fifth-place finish in epee. Entering the season without some key fencers, the Crimson nevertheless relied on veteran leaders and some youthful infusion to tie for the second-best finish in school history. Mathematically, the chances of recapturing the title, which Harvard won in 2006, were quite slim. With only 10 qualifiers after regional competition, it would have been nearly impossible to finish above the few teams with 12 fencers...
...days ago, veteran Iranian filmmaker Manijeh Hekmat resolved her dilemma over the parliamentary elections, and began organizing support for embattled reformist candidates. Whether to participate or ignore the poll has been a tricky question for many reformist-leaning Iranians: On the one hand, they have become apathetic toward elections managed in a way that has made inevitable a victory by conservative candidates; on the other hand, they fear that their inaction could return a uniformly conservative majlis, or parliament. For Hekmat and like-minded colleagues in the film industry, the latter outcome could only prolong the dark clouds that hang...
...Blue Sky version is directed by Jimmy Hayward, a Pixar veteran who worked as an animator on that studio's first five features, and Steve Martino. They have elaborated on the TV show's designs to develop a dense, gorgeously goofy Who-ville - a town, of bright colors and sweetly tilting towers, that might have been dreamed by Antonio Gaudi and Red Grooms. Who-ville has a daft architectural logic that makes a comely contrast to the jungle lushness of Nool...

"Mizuno was responsible for cherry-picking those he wanted to work with," says Hiroshi Hasegawa, chief designer of the GT-R. "Information cascaded from him." A veteran racing-system developer and director, Mizuno asked Ghosn to allow for a race-car development method. He started in December 2003, using early data on the GT-R concept to teach others how to reach the targets they would soon face in design. At that point, Mizuno says, he understood...
...journalists covering prerevolutionary China can claim to be familiar with communist rebel life in the trenches. But veteran AP reporter and China watcher John Roderick was there. For months, he shared the cave Mao Zedong and other rebels used as headquarters after the Japanese flattened the city of Yan'an, the end point of the communists' Long March. Roderick went on to cover the country from its ensuing civil war through the economic reforms of the 1980s, and in 1979 reopened the AP bureau in Beijing. "Keep learning," he advised colleagues. "If you ever think you understand China completely...
