...Fashioned Star No question that Efron is a movie star, but of what era? Adept at comedy and solemnity, synthesizing Michael J. Fox and David Cassidy in their early adorable phases, he is, so far, a movie anachronism - a throwback to when there was a big market for nice. Utterly at ease in the camera's gaze, he's not a preener; he gives the impression of being an O.K. guy who in his spare time is also this teen heartthrob. Which may be a higher form of acting: star acting...
...said Cesar Alcantar, whose daughter Casey was attending the visiting weekend. “This place fosters exploration for areas that will fuel their passion.” Several students interviewed by The Crimson over the course of the weekend said that they were surprised at how socially adept and diverse their peers seemed. “Coming to Harvard, I felt everyone would fit into particular stereotypes,” said Luke M.

Similarly, Rubaie insists that the MEK is a cult, whose "brainwashed" members need...
Where there’s email, there’s spam. With a plethora of list-servs at their fingertips, Harvard students have gotten pretty adept at sending out provocative, enticing, and downright ludicrous statements in order to pump up attendance for whatever a cappella jam/dance show/charity event/speakers’ panel/massive orgy that is going on at the moment. It's all spam to FlyBy. But, you know what they say: one man's trash is another man's treasure. So here are some of the most weird, funny, and heartbreaking spam excerpts that FlyBy found in its recent...
