...Gomes emphasized the importance of remembering the tragedy and those affected by it, while recognizing the new appreciation of life that death brings to the living. Music was provided by the Harvard University Choir, and the congregation was invited to participate in prayers and the reading of Psalm 23. Robert J. Kenney ’10 said that he found the service to be “very uplifting.” “Reverend Gomes really captured what I was feeling,” Kenney said. “He gave a positive and respectful message about...
...wanted to see it," says Garabedian. "There was swearing, snakes biting into breasts." But the fanboys are outsiders for a reason: the rest of America doesn't always share their taste. And the poor performance of Grindhouse, the double feature from two fanboy deities, directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, shows that fanboy love can get you only so far. Plenty of people heard about the movie--a three-hour '70s-exploitation-style gorefest--but decided it was an inside joke they weren't going to get.

That's why the few women who hire wet nurses--mostly because they have adopted, have had breast implants or reductions or have high-powered careers--keep it a secret, for fear of being judged bad mothers.

Stupefied, one of the friends climbs into the girl's bed and has to be pulled from the room...
...manipulate the truth and called for "a new premium attached to truth in public life." In the next issue of the magazine, Rudd again preyed on the P.M., arguing that the government's new industrial relations laws "would have deeply offended the responsible conservatism and social liberalism of Robert Menzies"-Australia's longest-serving leader and a hero to Howard. With Howard's "market fundamentalism" taking the country to the right, Rudd sketched out a Blair-style terrain that social-democratic Labor could reclaim. "The time has come to restore the balance in Australian politics," Rudd wrote, using...
