...soldier on the battlefield [Aug. 3]. During the G.W. Bush Administration, I was struck by the fervor for military action from an inner circle who had largely not served in the U.S. armed forces. The odd man out during the drumbeat for war was Colin Powell, whose long military career included serving in Vietnam and as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. His voice of caution against entanglement in Iraq resulted in his getting pushed out by the "believers." It's too bad they didn't listen to the one man who knew what he was talking about. Lieut...
...most likable character ever on NYC Prep. It's also that Chu is the kind of scientific savant the Chinese revere, a techno-geek who scored a Nobel for developing methods of cooling atoms to a few millionths of a degree above absolute zero, who shelved his quantum-physics career to try to save the planet but on weekends still tries to cure cancer with lasers.

I think the fast-talking nature of some of my characters came from the fact that I tried to just keep talking until they pulled me off the set. Singles is a good example. I think I had maybe 1½ lines, and I turned it into a minute-and-a-half monologue...
...with only 32 total course slots available in your undergraduate career (unless you choose to take five classes per semester, which is doable but not ideal), you may want to reconsider padding your resume with a Portuguese language citation if your family is already from Brazil...
