This is actually the sad tale of a freshman, but it was my first introduction to dance at Harvard. During the second week of school, I heard that the Bhangra team was throwing a party around 8, so I got all dolled up—I even put on my heels, earrings and did my hair. I got to the location fashionably late—but to my surprise, the event was far from a party, it was an introductory dance lesson! I stripped off the heels and earrings as inconspicuously as I could and fell in line with...

Weaving sad headlines about the pedophile clergy into a plot that suggests James M. Cain as filmed by Hitchcock, the film dexterously dances across four time periods and leaves the viewer to determine whether any one scene is reality, memory, fantasy or movies.

...election judges, which makes them the lynchpin of the entire electoral process, a thought that’s both reassuring and mildly alarming.  I met a woman who has voted for the Democrat in every presidential election since Adlai Stevenson, which is very impressive and a little sad, because what party really deserves that kind of loyalty?  And really, who wants to lose that often?  Then I saw myself in the mirror and wondered if I have fifty years of voting for losing Democrats to look forward to.  And I realized...
