...groups for lost posters, is procedurally infeasible and ineffective at promoting free speech. First, there is no way for clubs to verify the number of posters lost to vandalism. Second, even if a council committee could somehow discern legitimate claims from dubious ones, simply reimbursing recognized clubs will not alter the community’s feeling concerning the freedom of expression. The dilemma that makes this problem so urgent is not the fiscal loss to recognized student clubs, but the loss of their University-guaranteed free speech...
...recipient of the Sundance Film Festival’s Prize for Emotional Truth is at best a dubious honor. Audiences aren’t exactly storming multiplexes in search of the next great cinematic treatise on life and love. All the Real Girls isn’t going to alter the situation, a shame for both moviegoers and the film’s perpetually underappreciated stars. The mischievous Zooey Deschanel (Almost Famous, The Good Girl) finally gets a lead role, playing an 18-year-old poet whose cynical worldview is tempered as she discovers desire, love and sex, and Patricia...

So I used his accent and his attitudes--very upper middle class--for Fowler. I was playing an alter ego of Graham's: his Mr. Hyde to his Dr. Jekyll."

I'm empty...
Enter Ali G, a tracksuit-wearing "hip-hop journalist" and the alter ego of British comic Sacha Baron Cohen. Da Ali G Show (HBO, Friday nights, 12:30 a.m. E.T.) is a little like This Is Spinal Tap, if the doltish rockers were asking the questions. In one of a series of artfully staged (but real) newsmaker interviews, Ali asks former U.N. Secretary-General Boutros BoutrosGhali: "Which is the funniest language? It's French, innit?" When he asks a panel of religious leaders, "Isn't God just an overhyped David Blaine?" you swear one of the panelists, a Dick Cheney...
