...studio boss once described a good movie as "one that people go to see." Does that tautology make Transformers 2 a great movie? A lot of film critics - and even some real people - saw the film's popularity as some triumph of the clones. It's not that the killer-toy action adventure was a bad movie, though it was, but that it amassed its fortune almost by rote, as if its title alone, promising to duplicate the automaton thrills of its predecessor, justified laying down money for it. Transformers 2 didn't enter the national consciousness; it anaesthetized...
...Club President David E. Treworgy MBA '93 and Radcliffe Affairs VP Irene Wu '91, who giddily broke down the organizational structure of the HAA. To be honest, it was actually pretty enjoyable. Better than hearing about how much better it was when the undergraduate Houses had real personalities (and when Adams had a pool).

...genes best matched those of Schwann cells, which gave the team a clue as to where the disease originated - that's important because devils are unusually susceptible to a number of different cancers, and a quick diagnosis before the facial tumors get out of control would be helpful.

Ghonda remained upright another minute and soon saw thick, dark gray smoke coming from the man in seat 19A. He pointed across the cabin and yelled, "Fire...
...prejudices of the tea partiers, birthers, deathers, Palinites and other assorted "real" Americans are well known; the historic conservative opposition to universal health care isn't news. The dyspepsia of the left blogosphere is less easily explained, though. It has its roots in an issue the left got right and almost everyone else got wrong: the war in Iraq. There is still intense, unabated anger on the left because its opposition to the war was often ridiculed and almost always ignored in 2003. The anger at so-called moderates - actually, Democratic conservatives like Joe Lieberman - who supported...
