...telling its uplifting tale, Billy Elliot does an amazing job of not pandering. Billy's road to self-discovery is hard fought, and it comes at a painful price. His father, once over the shock and the shame of learning his boy's ambitions, crosses the picket line to earn money for Billy's audition. Issues of sexuality and gender-stereotyping are faced head-on but not pressed. He's no "poof," Billy insists, but that doesn't stop him from a joyful number in which he dons women's dresses with his (less poof-averse) friend Michael...
...Harvard men’s basketball team’s season opener approaches, there must be one thing that is running through Crimson coach Tommy Amaker’s mind: how his team can win a game on the road. Last season, the Crimson posted a record of 7-6 within the friendly confines of Lavietes Pavilion, but its record on the road was an atrocious 0-15 overall, including 0-7 in conference play.

...last weekend in a double overtime thriller. The winning goal came when junior Lizzy Nichols scored on a penalty kick with nine seconds remaining in the game.

...tienne spent 10 years working on the French experimental theater scene, and she seems to have taken from it an appreciation for the raw emotions of the stage along with the viewpoint that all of our lives are performances. In one poem about a day on the road, she writes: “Costumes that one irons, hangs up on hangers. / Scenery one dismantles and hacks up with an axe. / Mirrors without reflections. / There are actors. Entrances, exits. / Curtain calls and cats.” In Étienne’s world, real life blends seamlessly with the stage...
...road to an Ancient Eight title repeat may now be clearer, but it still isn’t any easier. With its win last Saturday against Columbia and Brown’s loss to Yale, No. 19 Harvard (7-1, 4-1 Ivy) now sits in a three-way tie with Brown and Penn (5-3, 4-1) atop the Ivy League.But by no means is anything guaranteed, as the Crimson travels to Philadelphia this Saturday to take on its rival league leader. Despite being on a six-game winning streak during which it has outscored its opponents...
