Some boxes arrived at schools containing no tests at all, requiring last-minute scrambling (and planes chartered by Harcourt) to distribute the exams in time.

It takes a bellicose group of “Pretty in Pink” rejects, throws them a perfectly nice party, and then lets them proceed to tear each others’ faces off. Gold lamé puff-sleeves are ripped to shreds, and corsages go flying. The sexy are made to be distinctly not. The video is filmed in reverse—the director claims it’s a visual pun on the palindromic...
