...should be obvious, it would be virtually impossible to copy the hand-worked craftsmanship of the Great Hall today: and, even if one could, it would be but a copy of the greater original. Apart from requiring millions of dollars for quarter-sawn white American oak, plaster strap-work, limestone and bronze, it is not possible to replicate the character of such period-work today--expert craftsmen are hard to find at best, non-existent at worst and they are bound and informed by the characteristics of their own age, not of ages previous...
...pulling it first this way, then that. If the plane of the planet's orbit is such that a star is being pulled first toward and then away from the Earth, the motion will cause light waves coming from the star to be squeezed together, then stretched apart--making the light look first a little bit bluer than it really is, then a little bit redder, then bluer again, and so on. These subtle color changes--examples of the so-called Doppler shift--can be precisely measured, and the magnitude of the wobble pinned down, with a device called...

Or when the Teacher needs to car bomb the mobster's limousine, we need to have some hint of how he gained access to it when the last we knew they were miles apart. For that matter, it would be nice if the director, Brian Gibson, who has also done better things (What's Love Got to Do with It), kept his geography straight.

Best of all, the creation of the Undergraduate Interfaith Forum has promised us, at last, a meaningful arena for courageous, compassionate, civil conversation across the sectarian lines that have kept us so carefully apart from each other for so long...
...solve are so cruel and visceral that I find myself amazed that anyone could conceive of them, let alone decide they were appropriate fare for a major motion picture. The final scene of the movie is a glorious tribute to nihilism in which Brad Pitt's world is torn apart by a senseless crime that leaves the viewer convinced that life is meaningless, that pain will always triumph over happiness and that it's kinder to abort an unborn child than to bring it into the world...
