...skaters. Early-November defeats at the hands of Quinnipiac and Cornell were followed by a 4-0-1 run. Two of those wins and the tie came against top-15 opponents. And then in an early-December stretch of three games in five days, Harvard lost to conference whipping boy Yale, only to down Quinnipiac and shut out then-No. 9 New Hampshire. But the Crimson won’t play again until it travels for a pair of contests against the No. 9 University of North Dakota on Dec. 29-30. So now, after an undoubtedly unpleasant Friday-night...
...manager." Realistically speaking that means brutally removing tenants and squatters from apartment buildings so they can be converted to more profitable uses. But he is haunted by the career he abandoned-as a promising concert pianist, which his mother also once was. It's an improbably melodramatic premise-Golden Boy reset in Paris-and also a remake of the American film Fingers. But that reckons without the canny direction of Jacques Audiard and the appealing work of Romain Duris as the muscle man-musician. His efforts to reclaim himself are told with irony, a touch of almost unspoken romance...
...years, Stephen Chow was famous across Asia as the bad boy of Hong Kong comedy, and a bugger star, year by year,, than even Jackie Chan. Who knew that Chow was also a wildly gifted director, until this Buster Keatonesque martial arts comedy? In 1940s Shanghai, the Axe Gang, a vicious triad with a weakness for some West Side Story choreography, has scared everyone off the streets-everyone except the harder-than-jade residents of Pig Sty Alley, who help turn a mobster wannabe (Chow) into a Bruce Lee gotta-be. Chow wanted to explore and update the antique styles...
...passersby. Sometimes the sky is a background for hot-air balloons, biplanes, the Eiffel Tower, even zeppelins, as in Ivry Quay (circa 1907). Rousseau's people were not always successful. Hands look like kilos of sausages, and some of his portraits verge on the grotesque - the child in Boy on the Rocks (1895-97) resembles a stuffed toy perched uncomfortably on some small mountain peaks. Others appear overambitious failures, until you look further. The monumental Portrait of a Woman (1895) is one of several Rousseaus bought by Picasso. It might seem a clumsy copy of a commercial photograph, until...
...Luck Essayist Pamela Paul discussed the ongoing debate over the best way to get a baby to sleep [Nov. 28]. My wife and I resorted to Dr. Richard Ferber's "cry it out" technique with our first son so that we could get some well-deserved shut-eye. Our boy was gifted with an operatic set of lungs. On the second or third night, we were watching the clock and gnashing our teeth at our baby's megadecibel wails. Finally we dashed into his room to comfort him and found that one of his legs had become trapped...
