...most interesting things about it is that is doesn't really fit into a genre, and American films, they're so intent on genre, and this, if it had to fall into anything, it would be romantic comedy. But I guess the very essence of romantic comedy, you know the man and woman perfect for each other go through hell, lose each other, a lot of laughs in between--till finally they find each other again in the end. This has all of those elements except the main character is gay, so it doesn't really fit into that genre...
Until this year, I never gave my diploma much thought-beyond, of course, hoping that the College will see fit to bestow one on me in the spring of 2000. I'll probably get it framed or put in a safe scrapbook album next to my high school certificate. But the recent debate over the format of our diplomas (both as regards the language in which they are written and the signatures which appear on them) has given me the chance to consider what all the fuss is about and what exactly I want my diploma to look like...

Appetizers ($3-8) are convincingly disguised as entrees, entrees ($7-17) as next week's leftovers. Sauteed calamari arrive in a giant, steaming heap, covered by a light, fresh tomato sauce. Because the calamari are not breaded and fried, their flavor and freshness penetrate the domination of the tomato (that's right). The dish begs to be washed down by chewy bread (though the lacklustre bread should really have arrived at the table warm) and sips of sharp Chianti...
