Ensimismada features Julia Jarcho '03, Harry Kimball '03 and Zeke Reich '03, along with Stanford sophomore Michael Frank. The band, then named Quill, was formed during the members' high school days in New York City in the summer of 1997. X&O is the third album released by Ensimismada, following 1998's Dam! A Semi-Sin, and 1999's self-titled Ensimismada EP. At just under 15 minutes of music, X&O is pleasing to the ear, combining a steady drum/bass/guitar sound with the vocals of Frank, Kimball and Jarcho. In general, the lyrics flow together well: while some appear...
...This was Felix Frankfurter's "political thicket," of course, and Chief Justice Rehnquist, with the majority quill, will no doubt be accused of creating his own "safe harbor" for retirement. He got rid of this mess just the way Bush wanted him to, shrugging his shoulders and declaring that it wasn't going to get any better from here. He made life easy for the half-cocked Florida Republicans, patting them on the back and easing them back into their seats. He also came to the very reasonable conclusion that Florida's election apparatus would not bear...
...heat or mishandling, and they break down like Scarlett O'Hara) and need to be treated gingerly in a process that was expected to take decades. Harvard biochemists MacBeath and Schreiber have found a way to speed things up with Protein Microarrays. Using a robotic arm and a tiny quill, they will allow researchers to deposit 10,000 functional proteins onto a single microscope slide and quickly probe how each interacts with other proteins and potential drugs...
...history. The Patriot is a big, rousing cornball of a movie, rampant with cliches, bombast, and historical inaccuracy. It was also one of the best movies of the summer. Far closer to a colonial Braveheart than the American Revolution of tea and powdered wigs and declarations drawn up with quill-feathered pens, The Patriot is epic in every sense of the word. It's robust form of sweeping, old-fashioned entertainment that knows exactly which buttons to push and has, unlike the much more remote Gladiator, an honest-to-goodness heart. Okay, so Gibson was a Southern planter who didn...
...four-square for democracy and decency, and this, of course, will cause a certain amount of superciliousness among the postmodernist swells. Since it is a story about the American Revolution, it will suffer from the age-old suspicion of movies in which guys wear knee britches and write with quill pens. But if the mass audience can get behind Gladiator, why shouldn't it take a flier on more recent history? You telling us Russell Crowe is cuter than Mel Gibson? Or in his picture suffers more than Gibson does? Get outta here...
