...Harvard Bookstore this afternoon, March 13, at 3 p.m. for a reading/booksigning by Willard Van Orman Quine, Emerson Hall's own living legend.

Robin Williams, reprising his mentor role from "Dead Poet's Society," is brilliant, as usual, and gained a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his efforts. Matt Damon (Best Actor nominee) plays with wit and skill the tough kid from South Boston who's really a genius.
