...last year at Harvard, I find myself vaguely nonplussed. Have four years of nonsensical response papers and vacuous political conversations changed my essence, my marrow? I have changed boyfriends several times, that is true, but that has seemed more a function of whim than personal evolution. A cute man is increasing hard to find. When I look back on my life before Harvard, I find I was pretty much the same person, except that I did not know what country fried steak was and I did not have a newspaper column in which I lambasted other people?...
...started innocently enough: last month a friend sent me a virtual lily plant on Facebook and invited me to create a (Lil) Green Patch, a digital garden that would grow on my profile page, and that any of my friends could help water, weed and plant. Sounds cute, right? Not if you've recently suffered through an overwhelming slew of requests to give a grain of rice, send good karma and rate your friends on everything including their hotness, creativity, fashion sense and intelligence.

...continues to rouse periodic furors. After so many rejections—over 20,000 this year alone—Harvard has gotten pretty good at conveying when it’s not interested.

The process also gave her time to reflect on what it meant to be pregnant--something moms who commission pregnancy art say they treasure.

"But no one pays attention to his beautiful home before he comes out." Moms like her are changing that, one belly at a time...
...address immigration as a complex social issue. The movie follows nine-year-old Carlitos (played with sweet seriousness by Adrian Alfonso) as he crosses the Mexican-American border illegally after his grandmother’s death to search for his mother. The plot is conventional, but Carlitos is heartbreakingly cute. His relationship with Enrique (Eugenio Derbez), the migrant worker who comes to take care of him, is charming, funny, and by far the film’s greatest strength. Like nearly all movies with a political agenda, however, “Under the Same Moon” has its limitations...
