...continuously. After all, look at the track record--she's told us many times that she was the "it" girl at her high school who all the girls worshipped, she's never gone six months without a boyfriend in her life, and she nabbed an Oscar at the ripe old age of 26. Harvey Weinstein, Miramax president, swoons over his proclaimed "Muse"--she's "beautiful," "talented," and "respected," he says, and the world nods in agreement. But how much of it is real--and how much is hallucination caused by that lack of oxygen? Look closer and the house...
...there are some, like Fred Hood '02, who disagree. "The Importance of Being Earnest is an upper-class British play and that's where [Oscar] Wilde takes the humor.

...Three to Tango, Perry plays Oscar Novak, a slightly neurotic architect who, along with his flamboyant partner Peter (Oliver Platt), is on the cusp of landing a major restoration project that could ignite his professional career.

Down the hall past the "Batcave," their boss was recently spotted interviewing CFO candidates while dressed in shorts, his shoeless feet propped up on the desk. Soon...
...used are actually not new but they had been forgotten. For example, the technique of dialogue, of a dialogue chapter, is a Victorian form where two erudite men, say, would have a long conversation that would be written out in chapter form. There's a dialogue that Oscar Wilde wrote, for example, which discusses socialism. But the discussion is conveniently couched as two very articulate men talking. And it's a fascinating form which has fallen into disuse, and I've revived it. I have a whole chapter of dialogue between myself and Philip Dunne, which...
