...problem is really a small part of a larger one, which is the decline of newspapers. Publishers seem to be very keyed up to embrace the Internet, but I don't have much time for the kind of site where readers do all the reviewing. Reviewing takes expertise, wisdom and judgment. I am not much fond of the notion that anyone's view is as good as anyone else...
When he starts work on a movie, Bird looks for core thoughts. The core here: "Cooks are givers, and rats are takers. In the larger world there are people who are givers and people who are takers.

This past fall, two Harvard kids almost drank themselves to death—literally—at events held by student groups. Surely this is symptomatic of a larger ill in the culture of drinking at Harvard: Kids here follow the “work hard, play hard” motto with an intensity that isn’t surprising for a student body not exactly known for its relaxed disposition. The policy, however, does very little to cure...
