...admit it: I've gazed longingly at more than one pair of Manolo Blahniks, admiring their whisper-thin heels, spindly straps and delectable design. But I always turn away, sighing as I acknowledge the hopelessness of it all.

Even though we are pleased that Harvard has admitted to forcing the resignation of former Harvard Business School Assistant Professor Raymond S. Ginger, the University should have also apologized for its role. In a letter to Ann Fagan Ginger, the widow of the former professor, Board of Overseers President Sharon Gagnon wrote that she would not presume to “second-guess the motives or judgments of individuals in that difficult time.” In light of Harvard’s overt misbehavior in Ginger’s case, we adamantly disagree with Gagnon’s neutrality...

(He’s done this before: I’d be the first to admit that I find Beautiful Girls very moving.) Memories of The Ninth Gate notwithstanding, Depp is very good as always, while Cruz does her best with the flat character that is high-living Mirtha.

...Okay, I admit it. I watch at least three hours of TV a day. I’ll even watch the Geena Davis show. But some things are too scary to even channel-flip through. Consider this headline regarding the next edition of VH1’s “Divas Live”: “Kid Rock, Backstreet Boys To Join In Salute To Aretha Franklin...
