...hard to argue that the puffs of pot that waft out of college dormitories are inculcating slothfulness or Marxism among developing generations. It is even harder to attack pot from a cultural standpoint when it is hardly the exclusive domain of young people; when presidential candidates can openly admit their use of the drug without consequence, it is clear enough that the mainstreaming of pot is complete. While the aesthetic horror of a lazy smoking hippie may still be an effective bogeyman for the farthest-right conservatives, most Americans correctly realize that marijuana is a fairly innocent drug...
...somewhat-less-than-impressive 9/11 stories at dinner parties, about how they'd been in the Trade Center themselves - in 1989; or how they'd watched CNN and felt that something awful was happening and called their husbands at work - in Chicago. If we're honest, we'll admit that many of us have those stories ourselves. We cling to them, in a slightly undignified but somehow understandable wish to feel connected to the defining event of our time.

...regret, ask for specifics. I didn't want to push her to talk about things she wasn't ready to discuss. As a result, I never wrote about her extensively.

Did you honestly read a description of “The Office” in 2005 and make a date with your couch to view the pilot? Of course you didn’t. And you probably missed the new-show bandwagon last season, too. But it’s not too late to catch a front row seat to this season’s televised zeitgeist!Here are five shows that are each only one season old, so you can still...
...Portrait of a Lady” saved me from a mental ulcer. The Crimson’s books editor hates Henry James. I believe his exact statement to me, while discussing the venerable author, was “Ew.” I admit, the prose style is a little dusty, and James certainly takes his sweet time unspooling his stories. But I had an appetite, and he just hit the spot. My spring academic schedule was the intellectual equivalent of a triple-shot espresso. I took my first timid sips of philosophy and modern literature...
