...Tarantino movie that Tarantino would be afraid to make. It surely has its quota of Quentinian quirks, including cool bad guys dressed in black, a revenge motif that won't quit, some acts of abuse that would have given de Sade appreciative shivers - and, most important, an expert's joy in expanding and subverting the rules of the genre...
...Decades later, the Fakir's stomping grounds are again ground zero in a war on terror. American, NATO and Pakistani troops face a hydra-like insurgency led by a string of shadowy extremist leaders who make expert use of the border's treacherous, land mine-riddled terrain, melting into the mountains only to resurface, ever stronger, from their myriad training camps and bases.

Beyond juggling teaching, research, and advising, most professors are specialists and want to teach a course focused on the particular area in which they are an expert, which explains why so many Core courses are narrow and specific. There is, however, a clear solution: The new dean should lift FAS’ illogical rule that sends away lecturers, top-notch teachers better suited to teaching broad subjects and developing new classes, after eight years of teaching.
