...have made some progressions here and there. I entered my internship this summer at Little, Brown and Co. Publishing with a wary eye but an open mind; I was greeted with a lively job alongside some great people who love books as much as I do and who bring fake dog poo and vomit to work for kicks. I splurged on renting a gorgeous but mildly expensive house near campus with some friends; I have now nearly fallen in love with the quirky place. In short, I tried to learn from my mistakes, but I still took risks...
...this reviewer has ever seen, Slavs! begins by tackling Russian politics in a tumultuous era with absurdity, vicious humor and a great concern for both the individuals and the masses. The opening scene immediately draws in the audience--even those completely ignorant of Russian history--with a flurry of fake snow and a lively political debate going on between two babushkas. These sprightly women, however, quickly turn into the mindlessly smiling grandmothers they are supposed to be as soon as Vassily Vorovilich Smokov (Jim Augustine '01) and Serge Esmereldovich Upgobkin (Paul Siemens '98) enter the scene.

MARCIA LEWIS Lewinsky's mother shared her Watergate apartment with her daughter, and is her most trusted friend. Investigators have evidence that Lewis encouraged Lewinsky to lie to Paula Jones' attorneys about her involvement with the President.

...scene in Montreal in late July included lots of late-night shots of whiskey, 100 comics being ignored by the public while Emmanuel Lewis (TV's Webster) signed autographs and veteran dork-for-hire comic Kevin Meaney dropped his fake high voice to brag about a development meeting. The business of comedy was summed up by festival standout Mitch Hedberg, who was introduced as a comedian "seen on David Letterman." He said, "Four million people watch that show, and I don't know where the hell they are. I believe more people have seen me at the store. Which would...
...TIME was recently permitted a rare look at the filming of two sure-to-be-classic episodes: "Don't Pull That Lever, Dipsy" and "Laa-Laa Has an Orange Ball." As Tubby body parts roll by in wheelbarrows and crew members carefully place live rabbits and racks of fake flowers on the Day-Glo green Home Hill, Davenport cautions, "There's a lot of intervention that happens before it reaches the screen. It's speeded up; it's colored sometimes; the characters are cut to make it look as though they keep their heads on for more than 10 minutes...
