...really don't believe he's a killer. But that brings us to the movie's central problem: a lack of alternative suspects. Rowena's needy, nerdy computer geek assistant (Giovanni Ribisi) is weird enough, but too obvious. Hill's wife is a vague possibility, but doesn't get enough screen time to be taken seriously. How the screenwriter, Todd Komarnicki, and the director, James Foley, resolve this problem is a genre travesty and an affront to their star...
...editors: Re: “Harvard Lags in Grad Parent Aid,” news, Apr. 12. Angela Sun’s article on Harvard grad schools’ lack of support for students expecting a child was a hard-hitting piece, bringing up a human rights, gender equality, and health care issue that has long been ignored by the Harvard administration. Where are the services for expecting students? Harvard is unabashedly pro-choice and through its many departments offers abortion services, funding elective abortions through the University Health Services (UHS) health plan.

These problems are not due to a lack of good intentions from administrators within the health care system, but from lack of funding from University administrators to allow for a larger staff and to better assess of current staff.

...which women can come together as a community to build their skills and confidence. Caldwell dismissively acknowledges the argument that women’s groups are necessary because of the historic discrimination against women, but fails to realize that sexism and discrimination still affect women profoundly today. The current lack of women in top leadership positions at most major U.S. businesses shows that women are obviously at a disadvantage (due largely to social norms and attitudes) in rising to these positions. Because of this trend, it makes sense to have a group that provides support and learning opportunities...
...about the Bush twins, or, as I called them, "Jenna and Not-Jenna." Last fall I became a regular guest and took up slightly more serious topics (on my last appearance we talked about Senator John McCain's Baghdad trip and Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani's lack of social graces), but the subjects hardly mattered. I had been invited inside the circle, and to be perfectly honest, I was thrilled to be there...
