Even if the movie pulls in crowds only in New York City, South Beach and San Francisco, it has redeemed Ledger from being a pawn--or even a knight--in the Hollywood chess game. "He's one of the best actors of his age," says Ang Lee, Brokeback's director. "He has complexity and intensity, and he's meticulous." Gyllenhaal, who wondered before filming whether Ledger "was going to pull it off," says he was blown away. "I know he hasn't been 100% happy with every performance he has given.

...Harvard men’s swimming and diving team headed to Columbia on Friday night looking to stretch its dual-meet winning streak to 13. The number, however, proved to be unlucky for the Crimson. The Lions won nine of the last 11 races to pull away with a 160.5-139.5 victory over Harvard, which had not lost a dual meet since the 2003-2004 season. The Columbia meet provided a study in contrasts with the Crimson’s contest against Cornell and Dartmouth the previous weekend. In that meet, Harvard came out slowly to fall behind Cornell...

This year, Harvard may have the magical players, in the form of junior center Brian Cusworth and captain Matt Stehle, necessary to pull off a similar miracle—winning the Ivy League championship for the first time in school history...
...give Harvard a chance to get some more ECAC victories under its belt if it does not overlook the always dangerous Yale squad. Brown (2-4-0, 1-1-0) might also offer a challenge as the Bears have dropped a disappointing loss to Colgate, but did manage to pull out a win against New Hampshire and dropped a pair of games to the two-time defending national champion Minnesota squad. Both games will be on the road—the Crimson’s first contests away from Bright Hockey Center this season. On Friday night, Harvard faces...
