...change me by throwing water at me--or money. But then TRADING PLACES (Harvard Science Center) might tell a different story. Eddie Murphy and Dan Ackroyd reenact the old Prince and Pauper tale under the guise of a special experiment, the kind without flashing lights. Ackroyd, born with spoon in mouth and (as ever) no expression on face, plays the arrogant Rich Kid who loses it all so [the] thief sans trust fund ends up with his loot.

Nadezhda committed suicide when Svetlana was six, leaving her daughter...
...Quincy House showed its first X-rated film, The Devil and Miss Jones. Archie C. Epps III, dean of students, thought their choice inappropriate and called the woman in charge of the society to tell her so. As a joke, the Quincy society decided a year later to reenact their feat and show The Cheerleaders, an R-rated, soft-core porno. Epps questioned Keane about the choice, but didn't interfere. This year they continued their tradition and scheduled Supervixens for four showings last weekend...
