...brunette, tennis shoes in hand for tomorrow’s walk of shame. The four a.m. Quad booty-call: a freshman mistake. 3:48 AM—The other passenger on the shuttle disembarks at the Quad and I see the driver’s stare in the rearview mirror as I cozy up and prepare for the return. Nonstop round-trips must not be common. 4:09 AM—My jaunt on the shuttle comes to an end as we pull into Lamont. I thank the driver, take my last few breaths of fresh air, plug my nose...
...candidate seems to measure up to the cherished image of a foursquare Reagan Republican. The party is enduring a dark night of the soul, almost entirely self-inflicted. After the excesses of the recent Republican majority in Congress, the party no longer sees a fiscal conservative in the mirror, while the Bush Administration's chesty foreign policy and churchy personality have driven wedges between conservatives and neoconservatives, between Evangelicals and pragmatists. Trying to find a candidate to rally around is like asking a roomful of picky eaters to agree on a pizza...
...probably not fair, but politics is about perception, and for all but the most committed Democratic voters, watching the Clintons together places our experiences with them in a negative and partisan light.

White-haired Mohamed Sharif, 61, who runs a sidewalk barber's shop using a rusty old metal table and a worn mirror, says the "rumor is that America is involved in this with Musharraf's help." A passerby butts in with his agreement: "America and the government are in the same direction, they are allies," says Sabir Hussain. "If the government is doing this it is on the order of America...
...barber of kings, the king of barbers," impersonated with gusto by Sacha Baron Cohen. (All those real people Baron Cohen has fooled and mocked in his Ali G. and Borat incarnations may flock to see Pirelli get outsmarted and sliced up.) There is one decent young couple, a mirror of the barber and his wife in their early bliss: Sweeney's daughter Joanna (Jayne Wisener) and her beau Anthony (Jamie Campbell Bower, who looks, somewhat disconcertingly, like Scarlett Johansson, and sings with a robust tenderness). Do they escape the carnage? We won't say; and at the end, the film...
