After the Crimson timeout, junior point-guard Jennifer Monti drained a jumper to stop the Peahen run and the Crimson looked to be back in the ball game. Peahen sophomore center Anna Barthold swung the momentum back in St. Peter's direction, however, drawing a foul on a bank shot and connecting on her free throw. Harvard then trailed 57-46 with just under eight minutes to play...
When Count Alexis Vronsky first sees Anna in Anna Karenina, she is scanning the crowd from the doorway of a train car. The first encounter between Antoine and Angele, the protagonists of Venus Beauty Institute, also occurs in a train station-a subway station in Paris. In the book, Anna Karenina's "shining gray eyes rested with friendly attention on Vronsky's face, as though she were recognizing him, and then promptly turned away to the passing crowd, as though seeking someone." In the movie, Angele runs after a train and screams at one of its passengers, "you dumped...
...Like Anna Karenina, Angele has a suppressed nervous energy-"You're never at rest," Antoine tells her, (approximately) "that's what I like about you."

It's like you missed a scene that went "you have twenty minutes to get the money, Angele, or the Venus Beauty Institute will burn!" Her impatience becomes endearing when directed at her impossible customers, like Madame Buisse, who struts around Paris in nothing but a trenchcoat which she removes whenever possible.

We never quite know why most of it's characters do things, but at least they aren't stereotypes, and at least they're enjoyable to watch...
...interactivity of art (in the Miami version of the show, for instance, the curators set up games in each room and encouraged the viewers to play with them). Ultimately, these inconsistencies are dwarfed by the beauty and power of many of the show's offerings. Pieces like Anna Lupas's "Humid Installation," in which she organized an entire Romanian village to hang its laundry to dry on the same day, are beautiful in their eloquent and simple blending of traditional local culture with a contemporary aesthetic...
