...these days anyway (see James Wood's vague gestures toward 70's Scorsese things in Another Day In Paradise). But, offering to help Liam pay a debt to the local hooligan head honcho, Joe does actually get to deliver A Package, ostensibly just driving a car back and forth, and, yes, Joe is not allowed to pull out of the deal once he's In. Just ignore the details and take it for Joe's display of self-sacrifice and still self-respect...

...what's broken?" was the answer put forth by The Crimson's staff. This theory is not exactly robust to criticism. It presumes a mindset among professors to ignore undergraduates. The reality is that it is extraordinarily difficult to reconcile student demands with other faculty pressures. Unless one assumes, as The Crimson may have, that all professors in all departments have equal demands on their time in all directions, a simple cross-sectional comparison of departmental advising can be somewhat misleading...
