...hope my inference is clear. The A’s go to people who wake us up, who talk to us, who are sparkling and different and bright. (The B’s go to Radcliffe girls who memorize the text and quote it verbatim, in perfectly hooped letters with circles over the i’s.) Not, I remind you, necessarily to people who have locked themselves in Lamont for a week and seminared and outlined and underlined and typed their notes and argued out all of Leibniz’s fallacies with their mothers. They often...
...happens, these are the themes that animate The Assault on Reason, Gore's new book (an excerpt follows). The crowd seemed to like them-people were hollering and stomping on the aluminum risers-and right on cue, a bright-eyed Buffalo student named Jessica Usborne stood up and asked the Question.

"Greece is an ideal environment for this unique concept to work best," he says. "Its cluster of close-distance islands means more itineraries--and money for us--rather than sailing the Riviera coast." Like the pioneer...
...Tweedy midway through Sky Blue Sky, the sixth studio album by Wilco, the protean band Tweedy has fronted for a decade. Over the years, Tweedy's brooding lyrics--fueled by battles with anxiety and addiction--have often overshadowed the spare beauty of his songwriting. But Sky Blue Sky is bright and affecting, mixing doses of '70s soul on tracks like Side with Seeds and Hate It Here with the sun-drenched guitar rock of Impossibly Germany and What Light, on which Tweedy advises, "It's alright to be frightened." Die-hard Tweedyites might howl at such signs of Wilco...
