...editors: I am writing to refute the arguments of Charles Drummond (“Girl Interrupted,” comment, April 26). Kaavya Viswanathan, in her debut novel, has not taken “few plot points and a borrowed phrase every 10 pages,” but something much more egregious than that. She has taken the plot, prose, and language from another novel and with no reinvention whatsoever tried to pass them off as her own.

Little did I know that, by 1955, evolution was no longer the issue at hand. Rather, Lawrence...
...Starring Josh Lucas, Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, and “Entourage’s” Kevin Dillon, this one has Adam M. Jasienski ’08 hooked. “I saw the trailer awhile ago. I like the big, trashy, special effects movies with no plot.” Mayuri N. Shah ’08 is a fan of the trailer but a little confused: “It looks like Titanic. Is it the same story? I wonder?”If there’s a director in the business today...
