...President Derek C. Bok why he did not immediately shut the University down. According to Gomes, Bok responded, “I tried to, but I didn’t know how.” The storm, which The Crimson reported brought ninety-two miles per hour gusts of wind and dumped over a foot of snow in Harvard Yard, essentially locked down the entirety of Massachusetts for five days, Gomes said. It may provide some comfort to Harvard students that most other colleges in the Boston and Cambridge area have similar snow policies. Officials at Northeastern, Boston University...
...title, two World Cup discipline titles, and this year leads standings in both downhill and Super-G.Starting 23rd, Dorfmeister skied the tricky top aggressively and established a lead of 1.18 seconds. "Wow, that's what I wanted," Dorfmeister said, recalling her reaction. "I tried not to get caught in the wind because you lose time and it is very difficult to regain that time...

...resulting concert film, Neil Young: Heart of Gold, is a portrait of the folk-rock artist as an aging man, in which Demme amps up Prairie Wind's intimacy by several notches. The film makes you feel that an artist who always seemed to be standing on the other side of a milewide canyon is suddenly in your living room. Demme keeps things cozy the old-fashioned way with long close-ups, slow pans (using a Steadicam) and editing cuts that are as sure and steady as the music and musicianship. Some sequences create such an ambiance of immediacy that...
