...payoff might have eased the post-movie tension. Who knows? Perhaps--perhaps--we need to worry less about Humanoids from the Deep, which delivered enough sex and violence to satisfy the most sadistic, misogynistic audience, than about television's Charlie's Angels, which is just a tease, placing its glamor-girl heroines in perilous situations and raising expectations that it has no intension of fulfilling.

A conservative estimate, perhaps. While the Oval Office may be a nice place to spend the summer, contemporary trends indicate Harvard types may encounter stumbling blocks on the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Primaries and polls should not discourage--after all, five undergrads did make it to the White House. Furthermore, a plethora of opportunities exist in the public sector. Banking, business, and publication jobs help round out the resume. But you can extirpate buried...
