That's the secret, really. Don't write out "TIME!!!" in inch-high scrawl--it only brings out the sadist in us. Don't (Cliffies) write offers to come over and read aloud of to us your illegible remarks--we can (officially) read anything and we may be married. Write on both sides of the page--single-bluebook finals looks like less work to grade, and win points.

Even though she invited hard rockers like Vernon Reid, lead guitarist for Living Colour, to play on her latest album, Matters of the Heart, Chapman has barely moved an inch since her Grammy-winning debut four years ago. There is some good work on this new album, including Bang Bang Bang, a biting commentary on the causes of youth violence. Chapman's rich contralto remains as hauntingly effective as ever. But there is a relentless sameness about these songs. Chapman...
