...left the Mouse House. In their wake they leave a filthy trail of Lays potato chip bags, Diet Coke cans, and enough Oscar gold to fund another CIA-backed military coup in Guatemala.Going into the details (a long, absurd capitalist saga) of the Weinstein brothers’ departure from Disney is useless at this point. Essentially, the nightmare couldn’t have lasted much longer. Money-grubbing ex-nerd testosterone receptacles like Michael Eisner were fated to have a rocky relationship with Bob & Harvey Weinstein.

The solution? Mobile carriers need to revamp their back-end systems, ensure real-time authorization of purchases and secure their electronic storefronts. Even then, teens will probably outsmart them...
...rare to see a former Fox Kid, a Disney Fashion Show star, or a grown-up child actor from Power Rangers commercials walking Cambridge’s streets. More often, one sees an exceptional young adult who exudes creative energy and woefully over-commits to her extracurriculars while managing to be all smiles and laughter. But as both a typically dedicated Harvard student and a longtime performer, Lauren L. Jackson ’07 manages to defy the odds...
