...Cates. When he was having trouble casting the role of Frank, his wife Jennifer said, "We need someone like Owen, someone who is soulful and funny." Cates and Kline let their son audition and, when he was chosen, were on the set with him. The "tough" scenes (spilling his seed in school, trying on his first condom) were the easiest, Baumbach says: "It actually was just faking things." The real challenge came when Owen had to cry. "When the parents announce that they're breaking up, we did that scene a few times," says Baumbach, "and Owen really could...
Despite traveling with only six wrestlers, the Harvard wrestling team finished at a respectable 18th out of 50 participating teams in the Midlands Championship, hosted by Northwestern at the Welsh-Ryan Arena just before the holiday weekend. Junior tri-captain Bode Ogunwole, entering as the top-seeded heavyweight, was the only Crimson wrestler to advance into the semifinals on Friday, the second day of the tournament. He defeated Dave Herman of Indiana in a 5-3 decision Thursday and overcame Tyler Rhodes of Northern Iowa, 2-1, in a match that went to overtime. In the semifinal match Friday against...
...Walt (Jesse Eisenberg) is burrowing into his teenage misery like a creature out of Dostoyefsky - or, perhaps, one of his father?s novels. As for 12-year-old Frank (Owen Kline), puberty has landed on him like a house after a tornado, and he?s obsessed with spilling his seed in all the wrong places.

...blame him for everything that went wrong, but you can blame him for some of it. Buchanan could out-analyze Hercule Poirot. But in complacent teams it's the basics that slip first, and Australia's fielding, running between the wickets, and discipline went to seed. Buchanan either didn't notice or couldn't arrest the slide. It was hard to tell which, because his arguments about the merits of Australia's performances were, by the end, eccentric - akin to saying that a piece of music is better than it sounds. Bob Simpson, a Buchanan predecessor, subscribed to the mantra...
...Runway better. The contestants are experienced and mature (in Season 2, they range in age from 22 to 51, so they have their own sense of self and aesthetics, unlike the eager-to-please singbots that roll down the Idol assembly line). Runway, which gives the winner $100,000 seed money and a car, has no financial stake in the winner's future-whereas Idol signs its champ to a contract with its producer-so the judges encourage creative risks, not commercial acceptability. And unlike The Apprentice, it ultimately rewards talent, not backstabbing. (Last season the one designer who played...
