The address hasn’t change, but GW’s new home on the World Wide Web is a different place. The new site, unveiled Monday, will allow students to access grades, schedules and account information over the Web. And new graphics, photos and images have replaced the old, mostly text-based format. The updated version of www.gwu.edu is the […]
“Everybody wants . I want,” are the words spoken by real-life mother Phyllida Law (Emma) to her daughter in The Winter Guest (Fine Line), a devastatingly honest and powerful new film. Alan Rickman, best known for his classic role as the villain in the original Die Hard, makes his directorial debut working from an adaptation […]
