...need to cinematize this play. Oscar Wilde's 1895 comedy of mannerisms is perfect as was. Just round up a brilliant cast--Michael Redgrave, Margaret Rutherford, Joan Greenwood, Dorothy Tutin and Edith Evans will do fine--and stand back. That's what Anthony Asquith did in the 1952 film: preserved the play's blithe, aphoristic elegance. In the main pairing of lovers, Redgrave's starch ideally suits Greenwood's cello-voiced sense of sexual mischief...
...tough for today's 24/7 Drudge-CNN-Huffington Post grazers to understand the journalistic wallop that Anderson's "Washington Merry-Go-Round" column packed in its heyday. Appearing in close to 1,000 U.S. newspapers a generation ago, Anderson drew readers with his decades of scoops: he reported Washington's tilt away from India and toward Pakistan (it earned him a 1972 Pulitzer). He established a link between the Nixon Justice Department's settling of an antitrust case against ITT and the conglomerate's $400,000 pledge to the 1972 Republican Convention. He revealed key elements of the Reagan Administration...
...protests are dubbed, was born. "Popular anger exploded," British Ambassador Keith Bloomfield told TIME. For around two weeks, young Nepalese have clashed with police and soldiers along a ring road surrounding the city, hurling bricks, burning barricades of tires, and dodging tear gas, baton charges and the occasional live round. Last Thursday police shot dead three people in the southwest neighborhood of Kalanki, according to the body count at the city's Model Hospital, where staff said two were killed by pistol shots to the head. On Saturday the protesters got to within blocks of the palace before being repelled...
While the clouds opened up in Boston, D.J. Hynes was raining birdies in New Jersey. The senior fired a three-under 69 in Sunday’s final round to tie for second place in the individual standings as the Harvard men’s golf team finished sixth at the Ivy League Championships at the Ballyowen Golf Course in Hamburg. Hynes and Columbia’s Chris Condello, both placing second with three-round scores of 217, finished five shots back of the individual champion, Larry Haertel of Brown. The Crimson captain played impressively in the final round, rebounding...
...scheduled holes at the Ivy League Championships, the Harvard women’s golf team poised itself to make a run at an unlikely league title, earning second place through a weather-shortened second round on Saturday. Unfortunately for the Crimson, Mother Nature made sure that Harvard’s championship aspirations came up just short. Bad weather on Saturday ended second-round play after just nine holes, while yesterday’s action was completely cancelled. In the end, the Crimson finished with a hard-won second-place finish behind Yale at the Great Gorge Country Club in McAfee...
