...Most Euphemistic Course Title Award: To "Music 167br: Composition in the Digital Electronic Medium," in which techno guru Ivan Tcherepmin expostulates on how to "drop bass" and "git bizzy." DJ Tcherepmin also gets props for giving his prerequisite the same name. (Ecstasy may be purchased at the Coop at a low, low price...
...most powerful instrument of persuasion of this balding, burly, bass-voiced leader is his ability to stand up and say to his fellow rulers, Look at what I've done here. In the 11 years Museveni has run Uganda, he has brought a country savaged by dictators and murderous wars back from the dead. He has implemented free markets, controlled inflation and cut the civil service. A middle class has emerged, hopeless state-owned enterprises have been privatized, agricultural productivity is soaring, roads crisscross the country.

...near motiveless malignity, especially as it is largely directed at Cameron Diaz's Kimmy, the bride-to-be. She's pert and pretty, smart and spunky--not at all someone we wish ill. When our sympathies shift to her, the movie sours. It is no help either that Ronald Bass neglected to write (or Mulroney was unable to find) a character in Michael. Why all this fuss over this lox, we keep wondering. Director P.J. Hogan (Muriel's Wedding) stages a couple of marvelously giddy musical numbers, and Rupert Everett is terrific as the voice of sweet homosexual reason...
