...most recent article, "The Procrastination Cycle" (Editorial, Jan. 25), suggests that, ideally, exams should be given before the winter break. This would allow students to enjoy their time away from school without worrying about exams. However, if exams must be given after break, the author of this article asserts, then reading period should shortened. Harvard students may have a discipline and procrastination problem, she says, and shortening the reading period would help alleviate those problems...

This involves a journey across America with Harry (Jeff Daniels), Lloyd's equally dense roommate, in a truck that looks like a gigantic sheep dog. In order to enjoy the pair's company, adult viewers must regress to those thrilling days of yesteryear when bodily dysfunction represented the height of hilarity. But Carrey (ably abetted here by the woofly Daniels) is both symbol and satirist of our apparently irresistible dumbing down. Astonished attention must be paid...
