While I enjoyed Alex F. Rubalcava’s tongue-in-cheek letter to incoming president-elect Lawrence H. Summers (Opinion, “Burning Money,” April 9), it also made plain to me a disturbing trend I have found in my own thinking and some other Harvard students I know as well: a feeling of entitlement. For example, subsidized coursepacks would be nice, but there is no reason we deserve them. They are on reserve at the libraries, and thousands of students at other schools, as well as a fair number of our own, can?...
...impersonally as Peterson. When senior recruiter Kathleen Sullivan, 47, was let go, her boss led her from her cubicle into a "team room" where they could have some privacy. He apologized profusely and said he hoped they would stay in touch. "Then a tear started rolling down his cheek," she says. "I'm getting laid off, and I'm asking him if he needed a Kleenex...
...Daft Punk aim to provide a soundtrack for every part of a clubber’s night—including the morning after. What emerges, though, is a clear sense of purpose—Daft Punk experiment with synthesized sounds and samples masterfully, but retain that slight tongue-in-cheek attitude that has become their trademark.

Yes, that is Larry King...
...rupture on screen at any moment. With the propulsive mayhem of his neo-Spaghetti Western Desperado, Rodriguez established himself as a caffeine-saturated John Woo incarnate, filling the screen with delectable orgies of balletic gunplay and the inspired bedlam of guitar-case rocket launchers. Rodriguez's tongue-in-cheek, violence-as-cartoon mentality was pushed to an even higher level in the Tarantino-scripted vampire caper From Dusk Till Dawn, which, in its own eternally trashy way, transformed the manic carnage of B-grade horror bloodbaths into high art. Throw in the effects-laden thrills of the teen horror opus...
