...script for Saw, in which a terminally ill cancer patient, Jigsawultimately played in all three movies by the creepy character actor Tobin Bellforces people to consider what they're prepared to do to stay alive. Using $7,000 of Whannell's savings, the pair shot a shocking 10-min. film in which Whannell played one of Jigsaw's victims who has to dig a key from the digestive tract of a paralyzed cellmate before Whannell's character's jaw is split open by a reverse bear trap.

...profound impact those dedicated primarily to their teaching can have on undergraduates’ educational experience.And while some introductory courses continue to languish under tenured professors, some courses thrive under the instruction of untenured lecturers, if they stick around. The Chinese program’s first-year preceptor Min Chen garnered CUE ratings of 4.7 and 4.8, but she will be plying her craft at Yale this year. And longtime economics teaching fellow Bruce Watson, who pinch-hit in 2002 for a seriously underprepared lecturer, continues to teach introductory economics at the Extension School, but not the College.
