...hellish Januaries permit our relatively fun Decembers. No one is honestly doing that much school work right now. We are free to soak up the holiday cheer—or at least sleep off that nasty cold. Cruel and bitter January is the appropriate time to lock ourselves in our rooms and study for 16 hours straight. Right now, we should all be mainlining spiked eggnog. Our December leisure also helps local businesses: Harvard Square was mobbed with shoppers last weekend. I, too, was casually perusing some stores. I spotted Steven A. Franklin ‘10 in a bright...

Crime films abound in Hollywood because they offer rich natural resources in both characters and plots.

...actors also managed to highlight the funnier moments of the play. Often the humor was a matter of timing, especially each time a new layer of plot was revealed. The moments of silence as David and Elizabeth waited to hear the click of the lock behind Chris as he left them alone for the first time in the evening made David’s explosive “fuck you” all the more rewarding...

...challengers and, in many cases, divisive and expensive primaries. Republicans also have four vulnerable Senators running in purple states in 2008: New Hampshire, Maine, Minnesota and Oregon; some of them are trailing in polls. Senator Ted Stevens' corruption woes in Alaska may force Republicans to defend that once lock-safe seat. And Democrats have even vowed to go after Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, whose protg just lost the Kentucky Governor's mansion to a Democratic insurgent. But if resignations are weakening the party, the party's weakness is also encouraging more resignations: it's just less fun when...
