...this year, 18 horror films have received a wide release, and 10 of those opened as their weekends' top grossers. Granted, to get that number into double figures I'm including V for Vendetta, which is after all about a defaced creature in a cave who plots violent revenge on his enemies, and Saw III, which would require a blackout on 3,000 screens to keep it from being declared #1 on Sunday. But the very first weekend of January, Hostel emerged triumphant over King Kong and The Chronicles of Narnia. Two and four weeks later, Underworld: Evolution (a sequel...

That is precisely what a liberal arts education strives to address. So that your fourth decade won’t find you buying a Porsche but feeling empty inside...

Or, if you’re feeling daring or have been living in a cave your whole childhood, take a language that you have never encountered previously—something off the beaten path. Classes in uncommon languages tend to be much smaller and involve a high degree of personal attention with top-notch professors...
