...history of this soiled university. This university was built by people who hate people like us. Some people say things change, but Sacco and Vanzetti still sounds a lot like Chiappini and Bilotti to us. Oh, we’ve heard the jokes: “Hey, Linguini Breath,” they say, “are you going to put some Communion hosts on your host-eroni pizza?” Sadly, we do not cry marinara sauce, but real human tears...
...needed a mercy killing. But as Spain discovered in its difficult - and difficult to watch - 4-2 penalty kick shootout win in the quarter-finals of Euro 2008, trying to get past an Italian team committed to a defensive scheme is like playing in ski boots filled with linguini carbonara. The pace slows. Every passing lane seems clogged, and there are more defenders in the penalty area than pawns on a chess board...
Winter Root Vegetables & Tiny Ricotta Gnocchi at Upstairs on the Square: $20. Linguini with Meatballs at Bertucci’s: $12.25. Finding a scrumptiously satiating meal for less than 10 bucks: collegiate heaven. Luckily for Harvard students, there’s no need to hop on the Red Line and head to the North End for fabulous fusilli—it’s just a matter of walking to Mather.

...little group portrait of new animation, Ratatouille - a rat-out-of-sewer fable about Remy, the country rodent who tries to fulfill his dream of making great food by befriending a jerky kid named Linguini in a Paris restaurant - is the most familiar face. It has the format (a journey of self-discovery and friendship) and virtues (grace of movement, narrative power) of Pixar, the pioneer foremost practitioner of CGI features. It has set pieces worthy of the old Disney masters, as when Remy, on his first night in Paris, scurries and jetes to avoid the heavy footfalls of pedestrians...
...this Paris top restaurants get five stars; and the garbage boy doesn't normally wear a toque. There's also a logical-logistical challenge. Remy, too small to do the handiwork himself, hides in the toque and directs Linguini's movements by tugging on tufts of the kid's hair. Thus does he manipulate Linguini's arms, legs, shoulders! We understand that the boy is the rat's marionette - but strings through his entire body? Whatever quibbles you may have, you would have to be an idiot of elephantine proportions not to appreciate Ratatouille's grace, humor and power...
