...hard, I studied well, and I studied early. Tom Cruise would say that I just don’t have the will power to control my affliction, but that’s not true. I do, of course I do. I am a Harvard student! So the blame must lie elsewhere. As with all problems on campus, we students know that the true culpability does not rest on our shoulders, but on those of Harvard’s administrators who put innumerable barriers on our path to success. From funding only the second biggest library in the world...

...walls, Marshall proudly exhibits several blueprints next to a signed and sealed patent certificate bearing his name—one of several he holds.In his workshop in the back room, he sits at a table that groans under the weight of old books in various states of disrepair. Some lie sandwiched between unbound covers, and a few are clamped in vices he uses to align their bindings.The walls of the workshop are matted with photographs and old correspondence. An old orange couch sits in the corner. It looks suspiciously as if it’s also served as a bed.Marshall...

What's going on here? Did Frey lie to boost his story's drama and his own street cred? TIME was able to check some of the Smoking Gun's findings, and came to the same conclusion.

"We knew...

...lie to boost his story's drama, and his street cred? (Have we learned nothing, nothing, from the downfall of Vanilla Ice?) Frey isn't giving an inch-or he gives an inch, but that's all. He wrote on his website: "Let the haters hate, let the doubters doubt, I stand by my book, and my life, and I won't dignify this bulls___ with any sort of further response." On Wednesday (having apparently reconsidered that last bit somewhat) he appeared on Larry King with a more nuanced position: "A memoir is a subjective retelling of events," he said...

...aunt Vanessa plays the mother of Sofia’s dead husband. The two hypocritical society women frown upon Sofia’s prostitution, yet complain little when she brings home the money. This Redgrave Reunion is an acting feast, and I’m not going to lie that I was disappointed Joely Richardson didn’t take time off from “Nip/Tuck’s” third season for a small cameo. The ending is perhaps anti-climactic, but one should never expect the neat and tidy from Merchant-Ivory. For Fiennes...
