...desperate not to be upstaged on the boards. That Paltrow is giving such a subtly shaded, moving performance at the Donmar as a brilliant girl terrified she has inherited her father's madness will not ease Madonna's woes. But, like art dealers, audiences should be able to distinguish between an original and a copy. Paltrow can act, Madonna is the fake...

Unlike grades, which can measure work on an absolute scale, honors are by necessity comparative. Although it is difficult to make comparisons between those who concentrate in history and literature and those who study physics, the Faculty continues to abdicate its responsibility for separating...
