...office told the tale of Shyamalan's success: The Sixth Sense grossed $294 million in North America; then, after a decent but detumescent $95 million for Unbreakable, he rebounded with $228 million for Signs (Gibson's star power helped) and $114 million for The Village - figures ranging from honorable to sensational, considering that he put his handsome movies together for about half what they'd have cost anyone else, anywhere else.

...Drew Faust is a really good Civil War historian and administrator who happened to be in the right place at the right time, and I am a fledgling writer who tries to be nice to colleagues and filled some vacancies in a decent school paper. I don’t think it would matter if I won a Nobel Prize or started believing in Zen Buddhism; my roommates would still make a mess and still make fun of me. I will be klutzy and cry easily, and will love my friends and family no matter how many Harvard diplomas...
