...write is who I am, or have become,” and this is indeed carried out in the fractured, meandering style of her prose. Passage of time appears to hang on the end of a bungee cord: snaking back through memories, or dragging through each present day as it comes, but always snapping back to the day of Dunne’s death. Didion recounts the events of this day eight separate times. This repetition counteracts the effects of what Didion terms “magical thinking.” Magical thinking is a form of denial combined with...
...preferable to guitars, bhangra has a greater following than any one campus band, and a cappella concerts fill Sanders Theatre on a regular basis.Is this because we, as a student body, possess an innate inability to rock out? Or is there some precondition for rock missing that, if present, would reverse the bulldozers’ direction and convert Harvard into an extension of rock-friendly Allston?Intuition makes the former seem unlikely, as Harvard has produced its fair share of successful rock musicians. Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, Class of 1998, is the most prominent recent example...

Because of Crowe’s strong direction and writing, the audience will come to appreciate “Elizabethtown” despite its flaws and idiosyncrasies—kind...
...vibrant place. The walls of each staircase are painted in energetic hues—red, yellow, and green—that then taint the incoming sunlight before it bounces off the colored surface onto the (no longer) white walls nearby. This elaboration of decorative details is, however, not present in all aspects of the interior’s design. “There are highly worked details,” said Miller. But she said that, overall, the inside of the center “is kind of generic. This interior could be found in any speculative office park...
