Once there was lots more going on. In the '30s and '40s, when everyone (not just dateless teen boys) went to films, the sexes were equal onscreen. Men and women used to swap banter, fall in love, solve dilemmas together, share top billing. And women could anchor hits, big ones. Gone With the Wind, depicting a Southern belle's struggles and whims, was Hollywood's top grosser for 26 years--until another women's film, The Sound of Music, matched it. Even the current "all time" champ, Titanic, is at heart a shipboard love story. Yet Hollywood is reluctant...
...very own Hootenanny, the clothing store with a disturbingly Shuttlegirl-esque mascot. The shop resides in the space our beloved Video Pro once occupied, leaving students to trudge to Porter Square if they want to catch a rental flick. At least Harvard students, unable to continue their tradition of dateless evenings with the wholesome Forrest Gump and Casablanca, will be able to buy as many tight skirts and cleavage-baring tops as they desire in a store right above Ben & Jerry’s.

A veteran in the modeling industry, Brian's spotlight shined bright when he appeared eight years ago on the board game Dream Phone. The middle-schoolers cooed over Brian's alter-identity Scott, the attractive basketball player whose skills on the court courted many...
...enthralled gamers are by such adventures, in which they visit invented universes whose inhabitants create their own stories by exploring territory, making alliances, seeking treasure and so on. But the Net has advanced the form considerably since the halcyon days of Dungeons & Dragons, the original game played by dateless dweebs in rec rooms across America on Saturday nights. Today's fantasy worlds are designed by software gurus, are presented on the Web and swarm with tens of thousands of players. The result is virtual societies like Ultima Online, which in two years amassed 125,000 players so fervent that pieces...
