...truly diabolical New York law firm that snags Keanu Reeves' hotshot Souhtern lawyer and quickly enmeshes him in a half-kinky, half-campy world of sin and decadence.

...protesters had to be herded into their respective pens: Taiwan here, Tibet there, and all those bubbly, bussed-in Chinese nationalists in the Graduate School of Design. The Chinese communist flag--bright, blood red, arrogant yellow and seemingly spanking new--had to be hung proudly from University Hall. The special-edition Harvard Gazette, a.k.a.
