...with any gnarly crime plot, this one dares to strain credulity. Once or twice, a skeptical viewer may ask, What are the odds? The odds that Billy would commit all manner of crimes, to prove his underworld bona fides, and never get so much as an interested glance, let alone a collar, from the cops who don't know he's one of them. The odds that Colin would rise so quickly in the force, and be deemed so trustworthy that he'd be assigned to sleuth out the rat on the team - himself. The Departed adds one coincidence even...
...dignity of television news was dealt a terrible blow this past Sunday when one of its most sterling outlets, the Fox News Channel, was forced to air some of the most unkind, hurtful, and––dare I say it––agitated commentary ever to see airtime. Ordinarily calm, even-handed, and intellectually honest, Fox was thrust unwittingly into the unfamiliar realm of the angry political diatribe when a guest lost his calm and flaunted his nasty, baseless feelings before the entire nation.

The course mostly consists of a weekly marathon eight-hour lab. There, graduate student TFs patiently guide clumsy undergrads through the ins and outs of stirring, pouring, clamping, filtering, and cannulating (nothing too raunchy, don’t worry). Having Chem 135 tucked into...
...History and Science concentration is perfectly designed to make a student look well-rounded, providing a convenient boost to any resume. The reason? It’s neither history, nor science, but both. Don’t you dare confuse the concentration with the department, which is clearly labeled History of Science. The reason for the difference in nomenclature is that the concentration is interdisciplinary (that’s all the rage these days!), while the department is not. The field is based on the premise that scientific developments are deeply contextual: political, economic, and social considerations determine the shape...
