Nonetheless, Scully does not tread wearily through the book's itinerary (ancient Greek and Roman architecture, the Gothic cathedrals of France, Renaissance Florence, Versailles, Vaux-le-Vicomte, etc...); rather, he takes to it with abandon, incorporating a sensitivity to the literary and cultural context that surrounds the buildings he studies, and using a sparkling rhetorical style that enlivens a subject liable to be wearied by either dense technical jargon or the purple prose of art speak...
This, of course, implies that any non-SNL watchers should beware; most of the lines are funny for only two reasons: A They are either the expected Wayne-isms (e.g. Not, sphincter, schwing I'm not worthy, etc.) or B. They are extensions of the lovable characters of Wayne and Garth that only fans can appreciate (Garth scratching a car in a body shop with an electric screw driver, or their car named the Mirthmobile). Basically, Wayne's World has been tailor-made for devoted SNL followers...
...year old daughter Annie (KimberlyWilliams). The general pattern of thisSilly-Daddy-Doesn't-Want-to-Lose-His-Beautiful-Baby story goes like this: First, something happensthat makes George squirm (Annie cheerfullyannounces that she's engaged; Annie's angelicfiancee puts his hand on her leg; Annie's fianceecalls George "Dad"; etc.) Then George unbuttonshis top button, makes funny grimaces and shoutsirrational nonsense. Then George's wife Nina(Diane Keaton), the film's voice of reason, tellshim to stop acting like a lunatic.

...writing to say "Hurray" to Jessica Yellin '92 for her courageous letter in The Crimson (February 3) criticizing the Harvard Black Students Association (BSA) for inviting Leonard Jeffries to our campus. I say "Hurry" also to other students--white, Black, Asian, Arab, etc.--who recognize that there are occasions when they must stand up and challenge their peers whose political actions are so morally askew. And this must be done regardless of the recent essentially manipulated anti-Political Correctness posturing among neoconservatives--a posturing based upon grossly exaggerated claims regarding the presence of a left-wing "Politically Correct" takeover...
...poems in a row, even an occasional date. This, son, makes for interesting reading, and that is what gets As. Underline them, capitalize them, insert them in outline form: be sure we don't miss them. Why do you think all exams insist at the top, "Illustrate;" "Be Specific;" etc? They mean it. The illustrations, of course, need not be singularly relevant; but they must be there. If Vague Generalities are anathema, sparkling chips of concrete scattered throughout your blue book will have you up for sainthood. Or at least Dean's list. Name at least the titles of every...
