...dining hall staff: Though the food at Harvard may not be as good (UCLA served different food in each of its dining halls, had a wood-brick oven to bake pizza in, and a dessert selection that would challenge any Parisian bakery), I am thankful for those who cook and serve our meals each day. I think the only other people who have ever cared so much about making me happy were my parents, and they probably felt obligated to because I’m related by blood...
...boutique was really just an elaborate prank on the music industry. Indeed, there is more than a measure of irony in the Pistols' being anointed to the iconic pantheon of a genre they had decried as fatuously boring and had aimed to destroy. Still, the actual band-drummer Paul Cook, guitarist Steve Jones, original bass player Glen Matlock and infamously thorny frontman, John Lydon (a.k.a.

...credit for Phoenix's performance has to go to Mangold, who has always been good at finding the bleak melodrama in taciturn souls: Pruitt Taylor Vince's short-order cook in Heavy, Sly Stallone's tired sheriff in Cop Land. If Mangold's new movie has a problem, it's that he and co-screenwriter Gill Dennis sometimes walk the lines of the inspirational biography too rigorously. John's father, Ray Cash (Robert Patrick), is a one-note ogre who blames John for surviving his more adored younger brother, and whose condemnation of the singer lasts way longer than...
