...self-destructive New Jersey barfly who is overlooked by men--even though she is played by, and thus looks like, Uma Thurman. If you buy that, you will buy that Debby has a thick Joisey accent but Mom (Gena Rowlands) does not, that there's a neat pop-psych explanation (Dad abandoned the family) for her low self-esteem and bouts of stress-induced blindness, and that the Garden State really is the stereotyped, Camaros-and-Bruce milieu offered here by director Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding).

Jones ’05 has rediscovered the fourth-grade-style use of the sentence-negating interjection “Psych!” as a source of amusement. “I’m so sorry, but I’m gonna need an extention on my midterm,” he told his “Designing the American City” TF last week. “Psych!

...does know when its wires are loose, and a different sort of pain comes from not being able to do anything about it. Memory loss (what's the capital of Wyoming again?) offers the most common example by evoking sudden panic. But it gets a lot worse. A college psych class I was barely in visited a mental hospital where psychiatrists interviewed several patients to demonstrate the relative severity of their illnesses. One was a former mathematics professor who, unlike the others, was calm as an evening lake in answering the doctors' questions, including high math and logic problems...
