...several exciting players—including the now ‘fro-less but always dangerous Andre Akpan—that will keep you entertained.HEAD OF THE CHARLES REGATTA (Sat. 10/20 – Sun. 10/21)If you’re a crew fan, this is the Super Bowl, Woodstock, and Cannes all rolled into one. If you’re not a crew fan, you will be after the Head of the Charles. It’s a chance to see the best men’s and women’s rowers from around the world compete, enjoy...
...keep the momentum and the audience's interest from flagging. Haynes, like Taymor, is an avant-gardist with a showman's flair, and his movie has as many styles borrowed from '60s movies - from Richard Lester's Beatles films, from D.A.

And a main requirement is a hair color other than gray or white...
...students a disservice by painting the story of resistance in artificial hues of patience and temperance. If we are to understand the U.S. in the 1960s and ‘70s, we must not teach Martin Luther King, Jr. without mention of the Black Panthers; we should not invoke Woodstock without noting the Weathermen. To do so is to offer a two-dimensional picture that conforms to an imagined trajectory of continuous progress rather than the more complicated—and more interesting—reality of U.S. history...
