...Zakaryan ’07, his roommate of four years, says that he has always been impressed with the way Sarkar can converse about both the most superficial and the most serious of subjects. “He owns a studded belt. He sometimes likes to wear up-dos and mohawks,” Zakaryan said. “But he’s also so thoughtful about how we are living our lives with the resources that we receive as Harvard students.” “He’s also so intelligent, so thoughtful that...
...Pedro Infante collection will eventually span 23 features. Now that my appetite is stoked, I'd like to catch up with Dos tipos de cuidado (The Troublesome Two), his only film co-starring Jorge Negrete, and the 1956 Tizoc, his last big movie and the only one he made with Maria Felix.

Norman Mailer revives John Dos Passos's out-of-fashion U.S.A. trilogy for his #6 (and shows uncharacteristic forebearance by leaving his own works off the list). And so on. (At times one reads in the knowledge that one is being messed with. There's an outside, screwball chance that David Foster Wallace really reveres...
...Crimson editorial actually calls for the creation of the department, seeing in it a public service role for the University to play. That spirit of civic dedication—something that has really disappeared from campus today—even manifested itself among rabid pacifists. The writer John Dos Passos ’16, for example, felt compelled to volunteer for “gentleman’s ambulance corps”—until his father vetoed it. During the First and Second World Wars, Harvard’s ROTC units used to train under the elms...
