...Drew Faust is a highly experienced scholar with a record of success in all she undertakes, a fine sense of values, and a deep understanding of universities," he said in an e-mail. "I believe that she is an excellent choice to lead Harvard during a very important and promising period in its history...
...This movie drained me. But not in the way a vampire drains blood from its victim. That act has a predatory intimacy. The contact of fangs on neck is erotic - a deep, dirty first kiss, and the prelude to fatal sexual enslavement. Hannibal Rising isn't nearly that much fun.

Hints that an author may be suffering from RAS include abrupt transitions to fictional works that James could not plausibly have read; one page in the prologue offers up tidy gems from Sartre and the “great Hasidic masters.” With respect...
