...brief review in TIME magazine this week, I gave Dan a gentleman's B-. Let me try to remember why. Because the pressure of keeping his ardor secret turns Dan pleasingly cranky. "I am going to make myself unattractive," he whispers to Marie, "so as not to encourage inappropriate feelings" - but by then he's already become way less adorable. When he's at the edge of a lake with some of the kids, they're skipping stones across the water; Dan throws a rock with the fury of a Spartan at Thermopylae. Emily Blunt, a beguiler in My Summer...
...long time to move from a concept to extensive developmental and operational testing and now to its first combat deployment. It is sad that TIME's story failed to include the fact that in the past six years, the V-22 program had the most extensive technical and programmatic review in the history of aircraft.

The meetings are part of a review process outlined by Boston to oversee the development of the 250-acre campus. The University has promised to devote $21 million to community benefits, though little progress has been made in fleshing out how those funds will be distributed. Harvard has already begun repairing sidewalks along North Harvard Street and Western Avenue...
...power of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS). For instance, the Committee on Writing and Speaking has a paltry three tenured professors on it, one of whom is on sabbatical this fall (the other two will leave in the spring).Similarly, the most important recommendations of the Curricular Review committee that reviewed Expository Writing—which issued its report in January 2006—have yet to be taken up, and those on the inside say the reforms are at best several years off. These reforms, such as reducing the class size to 12 from about 14, increasing...
