...variety, there are restaurants with the cuisine, the atmosphere, and certainly the prices to remind almost all Spring Breakers of the best trip of their lives.DaedalusThe national origin of the menu is ambiguous at every final club’s favorite restaurant/bar, allowing it to serve as a blank screen onto which Eurotrippers of most varieties can project their experiences. Those recently returned from Ireland will undoubtedly catch the numerous references to James Joyce, but will (perhaps thankfully) find little to recognize in the food. Vacationers to Greece can impress their friends by expounding on the classical allusion that gives...

Nevertheless, no amount of artistic flair can rescue the film from a handful of unnecessary and downright nonsensical scenes—such as a slap fight between Jack and his best friend, a moment that’s neither humorous...
...picture of a stainless steel elephant, eyes averted flirtatiously and a jolly smile, is projected on the screen in the Carpenter Center lecture hall. “The pink ears could be fallopian tubes,” offers Jeff Koons, the controversial artist who spoke last Thursday. The shiny ears do sort of resemble one of those images found in the reproduction section in a biology book, but with a tilt of the head they look more like greyhounds—hot pink ones. Whether or not you prefer the dog or female anatomy interpretation, Koons’ open-ended...
