...failed to turn up hard evidence of what Spitzer asserts is criminal fraud. Few expect that anyone will go to jail. More likely, Merrill, which says the e-mails were taken out of context, will settle with Spitzer--perhaps this week--by agreeing to some kind of fine as well as curbs that would extend to other brokerage firms...

...weekend (and a nonholiday one at that). By this coming weekend, Spider-Man, which cost about $120 million to make and $50 million to market, was expected to have earned $225 million.

The list is too long anyway to do them any kind of justice—so I will just say hail and farewell to (among others) the PSLM, the BGLTSA, the editorial board of this fine paper, everyone at Tufts, Neil Rudenstine, Cornel West and yes, poor Suzanne Pomey. Without these fine people and their antics, I might have been reduced to writing about dining hall food, or the UC, or Tim McCarthy, Quincy House’s tragically ubiquitous Chomskyite tutor. (Sorry...
