...spreads through the land as we close out the century. We're all hooked up to everything but peace of mind, and it shows in the cathode pallor we carry; we are a Night of the Living Dead army of zombies wondering if we've got unopened e-mail. Nobody, with the possible exception of Congress, knows how to do nothing anymore...
...revelation, playing against her Jamie type while locating in Carol some of that same frazzled drive. Here, Hunt had to deglamourize her image--give herself a makeunder. It's not just that Carol's hair is dark and lifelessly curly; work and worry have lent her an almost cadaverous pallor.

Disturbing occurrences like the delivery to The Crimson of a mysterious foreboding letter with a photograph of Tides and endless speculation of roommate tensions, have cast a nasty pallor over the University community. There were two other suicides in Dunster House this year, and another in Kirkland House. In March, a Harvard Square bank was robbed in broad daylight and resulted in what The Economist called a "shoot-out at high noon...
