...Judah Ben-Hur, Heston is still lean; he hasn't quite grown into the Greek physique he'd soon acquire. His thin face is dominated by a high, mile-wide brow, which made him a thinking-man hero - and, in his scenes with Stephen Boyd's Messala, Judah's boyhood friend and later deadly rival, startlingly intense. Gore Vidal, who worked on the script, said that the subtext was that the two men had once been lovers. Heston called that preposterous, but homoeroticism was potent in many epics of the time (oh, those Greeks; oh, them Romans!). Anyway, both actors...
Whether the rage was muted or explosive, Heston was surely a movie Colossus, made to be seen on the wide screens that proliferated in the 50s. Or, even better, on a tall one - the CinemaScope frame should have been stood on its side to do justice to his star bulk, physically and psychologically.

Be it through informal polling this year or the plans to poll yet again in October for next year...
...population of young adults on campus. The position of fun czar holds great potential. The first fun czar, Zachary A. Corker ’04, spearheaded the efforts to establish the Cambridge Queen’s Head Pub in Loker Commons. The fun czars since have been the College-wide social coordinators, involved in planning campus-wide events, as well as smaller house events that require funding and resources that students cannot provide. These efforts are admirable, and the events themselves are exciting, entertaining, and above all, beyond the realm of what undergraduates can plan themselves. Events like karaoke...
