Much to the chagrin of all the Harvard cynics who adamantly denounce the dating scene, kvetch about the lack of available hotties, and repetitively soothe their angst-ridden parents with the all-too-common "no one dates and falls in love at college anymore," there are quite a few Harvard couples who fit the archetypal fairytale. These lucky students have sifted through the mass of pseudo-intellectuals, physicists, Porcellian men, and Pitches to finally stumble upon that one special person to whom they can croon "It had to Be You." These students have evaded the Harvard meat market and have...
...moral fiasco and a logical pretzelism. It feebly attempts to justify the convenient self-interestedness of a socially irresponsible "career" by miraculously spawning an altruistic intention to "direct funds toward" the world's betterment, after the fact.

While filming the movie Brokedown Palace earlier this year in Manila, she managed to miss the more tourist-friendly aspects of the Philippine capital. Recalling her experience in an interview with Premiere magazine, Danes, who apparently possesses a keen nose, recalled that the city "smelled of cockroaches." In an earlier interview, she referred to the city as "ghastly and weird." The proud members of the Manila city council could take no more. In a 23-to-3 vote...
