...Hopkins. Sheen says he spends three months studying characters, "looking at every bit of footage I can find and every book about them that's been written" and ferreting out their weak spots. In Clough's case, he didn't have to look hard. For all his braggadocio, Clough wore his vulnerability on his sleeve. (See pictures of the great British thespians of Harry Potter...
...died, four other Americans were also killed in the nearly medieval land that has exposed the folly of empires for centuries. At the final moment of his young and accomplished life - when he stood talking to a village leader in Murcheh - he wore the colors of a country nobly represented by an all-volunteer Army; he fought on behalf of a dangerously self-absorbed people back home and the politicians who represent them, many of whom are unable to see beyond the next election...
When I talked to the captain of the team, senior Geoff A. Smith ’10, he wore a green and white polo and talked with his hands.

But one number you can take to the bank: the average age of those backstage who wore walkie-talkie headsets and staff badges, the men (and a few women) who were behind much of the organizing effort, wasn't over 30. And that, by far, was the oddest thing about the march: Why would a generation wired to their mobile phones and Facebook accounts nearly from birth want...
