Once upon a time I actually attended all of my sections. I arrived on time, took copious notes and attempted to participate in the “discussions” led by the all-knowing TF. As a second-semester senior, however, I’ve long since given up on the illusion that section is worth the effort. I now realize that fifteen disinterested students and a grad-student-cum-teacher will not lead to enlightenment and that an exchange of trite ideas will never make the Core curriculum more bearable.

...book with a $50 price tag. Like its predecessor, The Megalithic European is an immensely practical - as long as it's not in your rucksack - gazetteer of more than 300 sites stretching from northern Denmark to Malta, from Crete to Portugal.

A popular gossip magazine in the ’80s called Spy printed a sensationalist chronicle of Toback’s attempted sexual exploits over a short time period. A four-page foldout chart in the magazine detailed whom he hit on and how he worked his magic. His compulsive girl-chasing behavior, his admitted gambling addiction and, above all, his blunt comments about people he dislikes in the industry have made many critics cast...
