...psyched to go with Romney as my candidate. Then Brownback's spokesman agreed to put me on Brownback's top-friends list--in return for changing my screen name from "Joel Stein" to "Joel Stein Supports Sam Brownback." That guy knows how MySpace friendship works...
...will win? Frankly, even Cannes' veteran critics have no idea. Unlike the Oscars, this competition isn't preceded by other awards contests (the Golden Globes or Directors Guild or Screen Actors Guild votings), so there's no knowledgeable morning line. Further, the electors -the Cannes Jury -change membership 100% every year, so you can't go by past winners. Finally, it doesn't help much to imagine which of the competing films the jury president would like best. In 2002, when David Lynch was president, the winning film was Roman Polanski's very traditional The Pianist. Last year, ultra...
...this new one are a cop father (Robert Duvall) and his two sons, one a cop (Mark Wahlberg), the other (Joaquin Phoenix) the manager of a Brighton Beach nightclub crawling with Russian mobsters.

They always attended our formal events, and oversaw a number of positive changes to house life last year, including adding significantly to the house DVD collection, creating a designated smoking area in the courtyard with new benches, and purchasing a new plasma screen television for the junior common room. Surely, attaching one’s name to an e-mail petition while procrastinating on a paper certainly does not necessarily amount to an educated and well-considered endorsement. Indeed, in my judgment the inquisition against the Kirshners is truly being...
Whenever anyone begins volunteering at the Philips Brooks House Association (PBHA), one of the first forms you have to complete is a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) request form. PBHA and other volunteer organizations and employers use CORIs to screen applicants to protect the populations which they serve from potentially dangerous criminals. Although CORIs may seem logical (why wouldn’t we want to protect middle school students from criminal offenders?), the composition, abuse, and widespread access to CORI by private employers have created serious racial and penal injustices. When CORI was created in the 1970s as a database...
