...China: Traditions and Transformations,” a class all concentrators are encouraged to take (despite trying unsuccessfully to teach 6,000 years of history in 14 weeks). Ex-Dean of the Faculty Bill Kirby is teaching a new class this spring and, based on previous guest lecture appearances, Hist A-74, “Contemporary China,” is likely to be a winner. In the end, EAS’s individualized approach overshadows the painful sophomore tutorial—plus, its always nice to secretly understand Kong waiters’ trash talk...
...might have the answer. Professor Debbie Sorenson, a Lowell House residential tutor, seems barely older than a teen herself, and her lectures are light-hearted and enjoyable, especially since she incorporates a course-related clip from favorite teeny-bopper flicks into most. Even if she doesn't inspire you, guest speakers and panels (the hidden jewels of Psych 1603) spice up lecture, despite the fact that they discuss merry subjects such as delinquency and self-injury. There’s nothing like a presentation on bulimia to brighten your day, eh? Assignments are minimal and include keeping a short journal...

The idea that the Twelfth Imam could be present, either invisibly or in the bodily guise of an ordinary guest seated on a folding chair, led the assembly to a sort of climax, and afterwards everyone drove away in late model cars...
...Some of the sharpest lines go to such Guest stalwarts Michael McKean, as one of the film's screenwriters (who, when asked for changes, warns, "You don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, because then you'd have a wet, critically injured baby") and Fred Willard, as the airhead host of a TV infotainment show (complaining about foreign films, he says, "French movies with writing on the screen - I always think it's breaking news"). O'Hara has the meatiest, or hammiest, role as a has-been diva who by Oscar-nomination time has transformed...
