...Will Smith used to be able to crack a smile, and to crack up the audience with a joke, a silly song or his elastic, eloquent body English. Lately, though, the most reliable box-office magnet in Hollywood hasn't given himself or his fans much to laugh at. He was a tough, emotionally constipated cop chasing androids in I, Robot, and an ambitious man who loses his job, his home and his wife - everything but his young son - in The Pursuit of Happyness.

Harrington spent nearly two hours cajoling the group over wine and cheese to support Obama. "Dean never asked me to do anything but show up and caucus. This is my fourth one of these for Obama...
...sometimes undisciplined. Whether I am competing against a rival in a USFA tournament or just clashing foils, or sometimes sabres, with a friend, I rarely find myself doing anything more enjoyable than fencing a good bout.” For Harvard students, this is uncomfortably familiar. Our desire to laugh at Zuckerberg also stems from a desire for self-protection. Harvard is filled with students who wrote application essays about their love of long showers—“Within these glass walls I can cry, and my tears are washed away by the stinging hot water...
