...itizing the platform,” former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell told the Harvard Republican Club at this year’s Lincoln Day Dinner. His words were well chosen for the audience. While many Harvard Republicans are confident in their beliefs, some are self-conscious about their affiliation. Skepticism of party dogma is an admirable trait, no doubt, but embarrassment over your party label is an unnecessary handicap...
This new status-update field sounds like a self-conscious Carrie Bradshaw type who asks her boyfriend what he's thinking every time he's silent for more than five minutes. "I don't even know how to fill it in," Katie Tichacek says of the revised update box.

The acting of Cregger and Moore, by contrast, is noticeably contrived. Their stilted words and staging make them appear painfully conscious that they are acting, and the plasticity of their conversations is impossible to overlook. To be sure, there is a patent attempt to flesh out the main characters’ three-dimensionality. Tucker’s secret sexual naïveté, for instance, complicates his otherwise insufferably flat character...
