Only its implementation has been seriously flawed. The Queen’s Head, which calls itself a “public house,” instead of providing a common space for students to relax and hang out, study or socialize, is a strict booze-up venue. Its limited opening hours—only Friday and Saturday evenings this semester (and Wednesday through Sunday evenings next fall)—mean that the “Pub” inevitably only ever attracts the rowdy late-night drinking crowd, as opposed to the stressed student, (probably under the drinking...
...Paravicini what his secret is and the answer is simple: "I just listen. And relax." As for what's next, nobody's sure. A documentary filmmaker has been following him around for months, and a movie studio has floated the idea of making a biopic. But as Paravicini starts in on Fats Waller's Ain't Misbehavin', he's oblivious to anything beyond the joy of this moment.

Never underestimate the value of making people feel good.”I’m guessing a lot of people made...
...Artful equivocations are even worse; lynx-eyed sly little rascals that we are, we see right through them. (Up to exam 40. Then our lynx eyes droop, and grading habits relax. Try to get on the bottom of the pile.) Again, it is not that A.E.’s are vicious or ludicrous as such; but in quantity they become sheer madness. Or induce it. “The 20th century has never recovered from the effects of Marx and Freud.” (V.G.); “But whether or not this is a good thing...
