...comes the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, keepers of the Golden Globe Awards, to remind Hollywood that there is a middle way between ornery independent films and the mindless mainstreamers: the period romantic drama. Atonement, from the Ian McEwen novel about a love affair betrayed in posh 1930s England, received seven nominations, more than any other film, in the Globe list made public today.

Much of the rhetoric of the ongoing...
...control, and lapping up the adornments of power they gain by proximity. There’s a reason The Crimson isn’t an organ of the Harvard Gazette: students are capable enough of expressing themselves without supervision, and, just like politics, journalism isn’t an affair which can be exercised by proxy...
