...Harvard Film Archive will celebrate its 10th anniversary with lectures on preservation and restoration of films, newsreels, silent movies, foreign films and Andy Warhol's experimental films...
LOOKING back, maybe I should have taken the free Harvard shop t-shirt and run. Harvard beat Andy Warhol's prediction by 349 years and 45 minutes, but its moment in the spotlight seems to be over. Our most famous professor (John Rawls) gets confused with a bad singer (Lou). The ghost of Bill Buckner still haunts Fenway Park.
