...workers in the Square are all over the rampant, imaginative seduction techniques of Harvard students. Take Mark Burk, the emerald green-eyed Adonis who works at Audio Replay on Bow Street. Burk and his coworker, Andre Sadowski, an enticing blonde, have seen tactics that range across the desperation gamut during their three years working at the store: from a female Lampoon business comper offering herself for the price of an ad to two girls coming in with a porno tape stuck in their VCR. The store’s security camera catches Harvard women who regularly jog past the store?...
...distinguish the rendered atmosphere from reality. The marvels of digital animation do not detract from the “actors.” The Pixar crew can pack a truly amazing amount of emotion into the eyes and expressions of their creations—emotions that run the gamut from manic hyperactivity to bittersweet poignancy. Nor can technology save a bad story: Screenwriter Andrew Stanton has made sure that his characters trade deliciously witty back-and-forth retorts that are complemented, not dwarfed, by the technology that brings them to two-dimensional life...

One freshman stepped up to the mic and echoed what a lot of people seemed...

One part Abercrombie & Fitch + two parts Jasmine Sola + three quarters Cardullos = well rounded college town. Each store in the square seems to fill a particular quota, and is self-conscious of its role. You, dress the frat boys; you there, feed the yuppies; and you, exist for the sole purpose of peddling to tweed-jacket clad alums come Reunion Week. Ever notice how some stores seem to stick around for no imaginable...
