According to these two critics, fans like Duncan participate in the great “dumbing-down?? of literary culture. Criticism and controversy surrounded the books during their early popularity—adults were admonished for buying the books for their children and for themselves, an obscure children’s book author sued J.K. Rowling for copyright infringement, Christian groups tried to ban the books for promoting witchcraft, and the series made the American Library Association’s Top 10 “most challenged” books of the 1990s...
...song on the CD is “Apologize,” which provides a taste of OneRepublic, whose debut album is set to drop in late 2007. They fall somewhere between The Fray and Coldplay, and, rumor has it, they want Timbaland as their next producer.

But God, why are the pretty ones always so damn stupid? “Infinity on High” lacks the cheek that...
...public UC money. With six tickets in the mix this year—twice last year’s three tickets—our electoral buffet comes with a hefty price tag: $2,400 to be exact. While it might be tempting to find ways to cut that number down??either by increasing the barriers to enter the race or reducing the amount given to each team—we are convinced that the money spent this time of year is well worth it. All it takes to run for UC President and Vice-President is 150 student...
