...report on wunderkind actor (sort of) Leonardo DiCaprio [CINEMA, Feb. 21], Joel Stein managed in the nicest possible way not only to inform and entertain us but also to give the subject enough room to hang himself. DiCaprio is silly, shallow, ill informed about subjects he pontificates on, and very, very young--intellectually and emotionally. But these are not indictable offenses.

I seriously doubt that you'll even remember what you learned in Literature and Arts B-57, "Leonardo da Vinci Meets Leonardo di Caprio" two years later--in its place will be jokes you got over e-mail and "Dawson's Creek" plotlines. The Harvard Corps experience would last a lifetime...
...this day and age where a single Pantene bottle can both shampoo and condition hair and a pint of Ben & Jerryis and the hottest Leonardo DiCaprio flick can be ordered on the same website, the combo idea continues to flourish. The latest innovation: dry cleaning and ifakebakingi can be done at a single store. Just a short walk beyond the frenzy of the Square lies Erin Cleaners, a friendly establishment that caters to the two seemingly disparate services of dry cleaning and tanning...
