...future, the biggest question mark is high-definition programming. Not every flat-screen television comes equipped to handle the new HDTV format, which many consumers will want this summer when cable TV goes high def. And there are HD-ready conventional televisions that produce picture quality rivaling that of even the best plasma screens, at a much lower price. On the flip side, an HDTV set can sometimes make regular programming look worse. Catapano's advice: Start with the size you want, and match it to the technology that fits it best. Then it's up to your budget...
...downside of high definition more apparent than at the Academy Awards in February, when the few viewers with HDTV caught Hollywood's biggest stars working the red carpet. By some accounts, actor-producer Michael Douglas, 59, ruggedly handsome on film, became downright old, especially next to his high-def-defying spouse Catherine Zeta-Jones, 34.

Lori Madrigal, chief makeup artist for CBS's HD hit Joan of Arcadia, concedes that...
...would like to know who of the Undergraduate Council was quoted in The Crimson calling hip hop artists Common, Twista, Mos Def, Busta Rhymes, Chingy, Kanye West and others “no name artists” (News, “Wyclef Voted Top Choice for Concert,” March 8). I was in utter shock when I read this article at lunch with fellow Adamoiselles, all of which were not black. I think the council may want to look for outside support for this hip hop initiative, because it quickly became clear to me that...
While the council overwhelmingly supported a bill authorizing the Harvard Concert Commission (HCC) to bid on eight other acts—Busta Rhymes, Kanye West, Mos Def, Jurassic 5, Talib Kweli, Nappy Roots, Chingy, Blackalicious, Twista, Cee Lo and Common—in addition to Wyclef Jean, several council members raised objections to the potential cost of bringing “no-name performers” to Harvard...
