SARAH SILVERMAN JESUS IS MAGIC Dark, svelte and sexy, she strides onstage and, with a Valley Girl's perky naiveté, utters one social faux pas after another. "The best time to have a baby," she says, "is when you're a black teenager." Then she makes some apologetic qualifier that gets her pretty mouth into even bigger trouble. Of course, this Sarah Silverman is a stage persona, a one-shtick pony that could grate if not for her zazz and nervy aplomb. "I don't care if you think I'm racist," her alter egotist says defiantly. "I just want...
...this time Witt carried much of the load, completing passes of 21 and 33 yards. Junior kicker Matt Schindel split the uprights with a 34-yard field goal, putting the Crimson up 31-7 with 3:29 remaining in the third quarter.Brown began to search for a little magic of its own in the fourth quarter, seeking a comeback to rival Harvard’s miraculous rallies in the last two games, and was aided by a pair of personnel changes.Witt slightly injured his elbow on the final play of the third quarter and was replaced by senior Richard Irvin...

Instead of this self-segregation based on personal interests, Community builders would prefer to jumble students into pretty little diverse coveys: one minority student, one athlete, one geek, one international, and one valley girl and hey presto!—the magic of Community has broadened our horizons and made us all happy little intellectuals. No doubt the College thinks itself terribly clever in its similar-minded efforts with freshman housing.Alas, life does not work that way. People always seek out their own “safe space” amongst those...
...right?If you want a top grade, all you have to do is put in that extra little effort. While most students do very little work still scrape by in classes like Science A-47, “Cosmic Connections” and QR 28, “The Magic of Numbers,” a little more effort will result in an easy A or A-. Ditto for your History and Lit and Arts courses. In any event, the key to surviving the Core is planning ahead. It can bring misery to students who panic and take a Core...
