...example: In one scene, another unnamed student (Sophie C. Kargman ’08) wants to get the attention of Cutmore-Scott’s character, with whom she is sharing a bench. She ends up informing him that Oreos cause cancer, spitting her gum into his hand as he looks on with astonishment, and eating all his chips. Nonetheless, the scene ends with Cutmore-Scott agreeing to come to a party she’s hosting.

Then, standing over the shelves of magazines, I gave in to a guilty desire and bought the March issue of Cosmopolitan.

...bunch of stories for TIME about McGwire in 1998 when he broke the single-season home run record, and I got to spend a little time with him. Yes, he was roughly three people wide, and yes, he had backne and yes, maybe his smile was a little gum-heavy, but I watched McGwire hit a baseball harder than I've ever seen anyone hit one. And since more than 100 players tested positive for steroids in 2003 (when they were told they'd be tested), we know that if he did juice, he was the best steroided hitter...
