Persistent “unscheduled e-mail service intermittencies” have returned fas email users to the archaic era of snail-mail and (God forbid) face-to-face interaction for the last week (see Crimson article: “Erratic E-mail Pesters Students,” 2/9/06). FM offers 15 ways to communicate when the network won’t cooperate. 1) Coded mixes on iTunes: “Let’s Get It On” doesn’t leave much room for interpretation 2) Smoke signals (warning: don’t let HUPD...

They then proceed to literally bruise pelvises with a sometimes circular, more often directionless, hip-knocking motion...
...true. She loved his career and was proud of him until he started taking drugs and stopped coming home.? The screenwriters probably didn't mean to demean her; they just needed to show a failed marriage before the perfect one comes along. The rules of movie romance forbid a hero from having two true loves...
