...that the General Education task force has lost its faith in religion, the long-anticipated Gen Ed overhaul looks more like the Core than it has at any point during the four-year-long curricular review. The Faculty’s challenge, if and when the proposed curriculum is implemented, will be to recast the generation-old and much-maligned Core into a system with a radically different mission but an uncannily similar structure and nomenclature. The task force that crafted the proposal distributed a letter before yesterday’s Faculty meeting saying it was eliminating...
...Departed, which was shot in Boston. And the Los Angeles Film Critics Association went for Clint Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima, shot in California. But don't make too much of local favorites.

That group has three or four weeks to sniff out the zeitgeist and, more important, get a perspective on the serious holiday films the rest of us have been shown in early December and have little time...

During his brush with authority, one thing he did not have to worry about was the safety of his interviewees.Long before, in Cambridge, Mass., Bakshi had worked with the Standing Committee on the Use of Human Subjects in Research, which reviewed his methods to make sure neither he nor his research subjects would be endangered.“When interrogated, I never divulged real names, and instead used the fictive names concocted beforehand,” said Bakshi, who was doing research on political propaganda in the country.
