...taking a regular course load implies upwards of a few hundred pages of reading a week, and part of our self-definition and pride as overachieving students stems from our ability to plough through an entire Henry James novel or Freud treatise in one night. Occasionally professors admit that we are not really expected to read all of the material; and some teaching fellows suggest that the trick is to read one part of the assignment very carefully, and skim the rest. But the assignments remain, and as we rush through the semester without a chance to look back...
...fast, no doubts, no surrender. There would be no admission of error, despite a weeklong discussion within his campaign about whether to show any contrition about anything.

...software called DVD X Copy. So what happened? DVD Shrink, a free product that does the same job, started popping up on the Internet. Exhibit B: Even before the launch of TiVoToGo, the online cognoscenti have latched on to BitTorrent software for swapping TV shows. Privately, some movie bosses admit the industry is on the wrong track. "Studios can only bitch so much before they provide a viable, competitive alternative," says one Walt Disney executive...
