SUMMER MOVIES ARRIVE THIS YEAR WEARing a big Smile button. In a kinder, gentler mood (and facing a shrinking, glutted market), moguls have resolved to appeal to the widest possible audience. So the violence in action movies gets toned down one calculated notch, to snag a PG or PG-13 rating, and sex is soft-focused into romance...
...disturbing as the inaccuracies was the editorial's tone. In likening the opponents of the move to spoiled kinder-garteners. The Crimson belittled groups that are fighting for the preservation of scarce study space. The editorial staff wrote that the issue should be ignored because the Committee on Undergraduate Education is looking into expanding undergraduate study space anyway.

The simpleminded rhetoric about an evil empire would yield...
Maybe that's how it should be: pit-bull women, right-wing women, feminist women -- all kinds of women in all their glorious diversity. Nothing in our genes, after all, says we have to be kinder, gentler and more committed to family leave. But with women's representation in national politics still barely above presuffrage levels, it was only natural that most of the new female candidates would define themselves as women on a mission. Trailblazing is not a job for the uncommitted...
