Forget love. Formals, especially are a waste of time. They're nothing more than dressing all up to try and impress a date who can't even party because she has to get up early for lab the next morning. It's the grades that matter anyway. Don't worry about dating until you're out there working at McKinsey...
...hackneyed dialogue and other familiar staples in "Star Wars" will impress itself on the moviegoer from the very beginning. Much of the national media has played up the Flash Gordon comic book angle in the last two weeks, at the expense of toning down some of the other classic themes and frameworks that Lucas weaves into the film's texture. In many ways, "Star Wars" can be approached as a competent Western set sometime in the quite distant future. Go down the checklist of a classic Western's ingredients, and few items will be missing in the Lucas recipe: bounty...
There is a gentle but loopy quality to the Packers fan. The two things that most impress a visitor to Lambeau are the niceness of the people--a deputy sheriff giving his hand warmers to a Panthers rooter--and the outrageous, often ironic humor of Packers backers.

...simply be prepared to pay our debts and pay our dues," the President said. OK so far, but it is Congressional Republicans that Annan must convince. He?ll begin tonight in a meeting with Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jesse Helms. Annan's predecessor, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, failed to impress Helms and the Congress with his dedication to reform, a shortcoming which last year cost him his job. As the hand-picked United States choice to lead the UN, with a proven record as an administrator, Annan stands a much better chance of appeasing Helms...
...famed Milan theater troupe. The screen had to claim this face, so sensitive, masculine and alert, but it took a decade or more for him to achieve true Marcellosity. In Visconti's rapturous White Nights (1957), Mastroianni spent the whole movie pleading fruitlessly for Maria Schell's love. To impress her he does a spaz-jazz dance, hilarious in its frantic clumsiness. At the end he walks off like Chaplin, alone into the snowy dawn...
