...child, the magician had met and fallen in love with a young duchess and schemed to elope with her. In maturity, this beauty has become Princess Sophie (Jessica Biel), who is likely to be wed to Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell), a potentate as brutal as he is handsome--and he is very handsome. If Eisenheim and Sophie are to resume their tryst, they must elude both Leopold and his wily Chief Inspector Uhl (Paul Giamatti). All are ready to play roles in Eisenheim's game: to be his accomplice, his stooge, his unmasker, his ruin...
...Higgins' twist was to wed the docudrama to the crime romance (film noir, as the French later called it). For the docu part of the story, an authoritative off-screen voice would set up parallel narrative tracks: a criminal's m.o. and the dogged work of government sleuths to catch him.

Nearly 40% of first-year students now support legalizing pot (the most since the '70s), and an astonishing 59% of 18-year-olds think same-sex couples should be able to legally wed. (Only about 30% of all Americans do.) But in the context of the other numbers, those positions may indicate a libertarian rather than leftist orientation. The Libertarian Party, which advocates minimal government interference in people's lives, has members on 306 campuses, twice the figure of 1997-98, according to James...
...instituted its first sexual harassment policy.The student was being “stonewalled” by the administration before the story was written, Faludi says, and the dean of the College personally requested that the story not run.“I realized at that point that you could wed journalism with feminism and actually make some social change, which was enlightening for an undergraduate who didn’t feel very empowered.”Faludi enrolled at Harvard in 1977, just two years after the College abolished its quota on the number of women...
