...Fifteen Minutes article I read this fall seemed typical of this attitude. While it provided a cogent analysis of a summer intern's life in Washington, it gloried in what it described as Harvard's pre-eminence in the nation's capital. One intern was quoted as saying that at an initial meeting of White House interns "at least one-third of the people were from Harvard...Everyone else was rolling their eyes, but I was proud." Certainly it is positive to have large numbers of Harvard students in Washington, but to gloat over the fact is pure arrogance. Such...
...article, Mr. Campbell advances several cogent arguments for preserving the Great Hall of the Freshman Union but decides in the end that it is not worth preserving because (a remarkable statement coming from a practitioner of profession that calls for lots of imagination), "I can't imagine any future for this space, except as the pathetic, hollow stage of a forgotten era."

...feature-length documentary. Niftily assembled by Robert Epstein and Jeffrey Freidman, the compilation is by turns amusing and heartbreaking, says TIME's Richard Corliss. It adroitly interlaces old film clips, like a peignoired Cary Grant, declaring, in Bringing Up Baby, 'I just went gay all of a sudden!', with cogent comments by Gore Vidal, Harvey Fierstein, Quentin Crisp and others. But the final irony of the film may be that Hollywood, with its dozens of gay stars, its hundreds of gays in positions of creative and executive power, is still afraid to depict homosexual life: the world Hollywood knows...
