...portrayal of Starks lacks depth and is utterly unconvincing. There is always a distance that keeps the audience from connecting with Starks. Pearce never shows why his character is so ready to believe the fortune-teller, nor does he sufficiently demonstrate Starks’ motivation for suddenly deciding to seek out his terrible fate.

For example, Starks’s near-breakdown—in which the character locks himself...

...problems—but not me!” How many students feel confined to the anonymous sites like tellyourstory.wikispaces.com and Bored@Lamont because they think their fellow students would look down on them as weak? Peer-to-peer stigma, a large reason why students don’t seek help or talk about their concerns, would be reduced by creating more and larger visible peer support groups and events on campus...

...decision to seek immunity for Goodling has yet been made. But the question of immunity may be inevitable, because of what some observers see as an endgame for Gonzales, who is scheduled to deliver crucial testimony on his role in the firings next Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Democrats have stressed that even if Gonzales resigns, their investigation into the dismissal of the U.S. attorneys will continue. In that event, the investigation's focus would likely shift to the role of the White House in the firings, and Goodling's contacts with the office of former White House counsel...
