...call for increased security measures in the Yard." Other victims have taken "the University administration to task for not doing enough to make students aware of the security issues surrounding Matthews and other Yard dorms." However, it seems as though many of the burglary victims have forgotten the cardinal rule when it comes to preventing robberies: lock your doors, especially at night. Harvard oftentimes may seem like a bubble disconnected from the rest of the world, but is in reality easily accessible to the urban streets of Cambridge. Common sense dictates that if you live in a big city...
...nearest neighbor; or does it work with General Musharraf in the hope that he can be coaxed back onto the democratic path. Tradition points to the latter course. After all, Washington worked closely with the last military government, led by General Zia ul-Haq, which ceded to civilian rule in 1988, and successive U.S. administrations have recognized the Pakistani military as a source of stability in a fractious and volatile nation.

Dogme might seem way too, well, dogmatic; a director who has filmed under its rules must sign a "confession" of any deviations. (Korine: "I confess that in the turkey-dinner scene, I made my grandmother go to the grocery store and buy a batch of raw cranberries ...") But Dogme is as much a game as it is a cult. Indeed, Korine broke nearly every commandment; like Rasputin, he wants to sin so he can repent. At the beginning he stages a violent death (Rule 6). At the end he credits himself (Rule 10). In between he uses slow motion, stop...
