...album, “Chopped N Skrewed,” is “The Jimi Hendrix Experience” gone circus-digital almost like—hmm...well, the first video off the album, except replace Lil’ Wayne with Ludacris. With one touch of a magic button on the shades, we are transported to a techno-psychedelic dream world where, as usual, T-Pain is hanging at the bar and the strip club like he has no home. Usually singers brag about how all they do is show up anywhere—club, bank, or nursing home?...
...Lost are doing the same thing. Are you happy with the show's legacy?We really opened the doors for a lot of shows that followed, creating the notion of a multi-year arc, which really hadn't been done before. You always used to hit the reset button at the end of an episode, because there was a sense that audiences couldn't follow stories across four episodes, let alone four years.

...vengeance. In interviews, Wall Street executives, like John Mack, CEO of Morgan Stanley, talk of reducing their leverage to a ratio of 12 to 1 - a regulatory requirement, now that both Morgan and Goldman have turned themselves into commercial rather than investment banks - as if there were some button they could push to make it happen.

"I'm a mainstream Democrat, a rural Democrat, a middle-of-the-road Democrat," he says...
...took my seat among the old boys’ club. I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Harvard, with its ivy-covered buildings and portrait-covered walls, is the epitome of New England pomp (or charm; call it what you will). But button-down shirts tucked into khakis, wool sweaters worn over collared shirts, and tweed jackets with suede elbow patches? Such spruce style goes against every notion I have of what it means to be male and in college. After some digging through The Crimson’s archives, I realized that varsity sweaters...
