HOWL HOWL GAFF GAFF Telling everyone you're a sucker for love without being extremely irritating is a tough trick, yet this emotional Stockholm band finds a way to pull it off. Singer Adam Olenius has a gift for melodies and an earnestness that recalls the Cure's Robert Smith, but he's also got enough self-respect to know when he's on the verge of bathos and is smart enough to avoid it, as on the soaring Very Loud: "I wanna build buildings high for you/ But the costs, my God, the costs I can't afford...
...brings interested students and faculty together and gives them the resources they need to present their issues to the rest of campus. That is the point, is it not? Raising campus awareness of women’s issues is a worthy goal, but space alone is not a cure-all. Advocates need to carefully consider both the short-term and long-term ramifications of their demands.

I haven't touched a cell phone, BlackBerry or PDA in months-and after 15 years in the corporate world, I don't miss any of it. As a stay-at-home dad, I'm reaping...
...when Aronofsky and Williams tone it down for the modest middle sequence, where modern-day researcher Thomas hunts for a cancer cure that will save his wife, the book becomes an unconvincing melodrama with two stock archetypes: the driven scientific male who struggles to defeat death and the beatific, artistic female who courageously accepts it. Without the star wattage of real people to put over the chemistry of the characters, the authors never build up a convincing case for the timelessness of this relationship. They need to stretch out the quiet bits, but, even at over 160 pages, the pace...
