...Alan Brinkley, Dunwalke Associate Professor of American History and a new arrival from MIT, offers an explanation for the phenomenon in Harvard's stellar array of lecturers. Many students undoubtedly choose Harvard because of its renowned faculty.

Brinkley, 27, makes her film debut in a little slip of a cinema, due out next spring, that follows the misadventures of an American family on a cross-country trip from Chicago to a giant theme park in California called Walley World. Brinkley plays a blond in a red Ferrari who continually pops up along the route. The part is undoubtedly one that Meryl Streep would pass...
