...friend and fellow Harvard AIDS Coalition (HAC) member Matthew F. Basilico ’08, is characteristic of Connie E. Chen ’08—and perhaps misleading. A snapshot of Chen’s resume reveals a person of Herculean capabilities: a Detur Book Prize winner, John Harvard Scholar, pre-med econ major interviewing for both medical schools and consulting firms (just landing a job at McKinsey & Co.) who has also spent one summer drafting a $31 million grant for malaria and AIDS intervention in Cambodia, another documenting sex workers in Kenya, and the times in between...
...sprinted down the corridors of TIME this afternoon, eager to spread the news of the New York Film Critics Circle voting for the year's best films. The winner, in the film, director, screenplay and supporting actor categories? The Coen brothers' No Country for Old Men, which three different people told me they'd been meaning to see.

Yes, there’s a boy (gasp!), and yes, the American Idol winner is singing about a tattoo; but there’s no ink on her body. She’s only singing of the impression said boy has made on her heart. There are no roses or initials etched on Sparks’ shoulder, or at least none that we can see. Instead, squeaky clean and revealing...
...directing, with its quick cuts and seamless transitions, makes the viewer feel the breakneck speed and confusion of the seamy underbelly. And unlike his other films, Ritchie uses this one to to analyze the philosophical aspects of crime. Namely, he delves into what makes a “winner,” primarily through a chess allegory. But the primary flaw of Ritchie’s more philosophical approach is that he fails to incorporate the lessons. Many pieces of advice, especially, “You can only get smarter by playing a smarter opponent,” are repeated...
