...Part of this isolation can be traced to the technicality of science. It’s a lot easier (not to mention interesting) to discuss literary and political theory over dinner with the blockmates than it is to discuss that awesome enzyme mechanism from Chem...
Whatever happened to the cool kid who sat in the back of high school honors chem and snickered because he was smarter than the teacher?He got his Ph.D. from Harvard, abandoned academia for the film industry, and is now poised to appear in a movie theater near you.Introducing Randy Olson, a 1984 graduate of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, who stopped by the Museum of Fine Arts last Saturday to screen his first full-length documentary feature, “Flock of Dodos,” as part of a nation-wide, week-long screening tour...

That’s not to say that Cheever’s work is completely devoid of content. From time to time she makes insightful connections between the authors’ journalized experiences and their literary achievements.

He can erase with his right hand while writing with his left and draw chair conformations in two seconds flat. Needless to say, the class’ female population describes him as very charismatic and his office hours are always packed. Although the class...
