...Lucas sold them to America. Or rather, America bought them--in bulk. Lucas showed beyond any shadow of a doubt that the culture of childhood sells. Perhaps this doesn't come as such a shock to we of the immediate gratification generation, as we've been called (the name itsel implies childishness). But just look at the sorts of movies that major studios were pouring big bucks into in the '60s and '70s--quirky art movies like Robert Altmans Nashville or dark dramas like Martin Scorceses Mean Streets. Even the shoot-em-ups were intellectual. If you don't believe...
...live in the shadow of the Fly. The final club's red-brick edifice stands within feet of the entrance to Lowell House, which I pass through to start and end each day, and many times in between. On a sunny spring day, the breeze stirs the sheer curtains through open windows. At night, the low, rhythmic beat of the bass from music at the Fly resonates softly through my room on Lowell's lower courtyard...

In other words, is Al Gore the candidate the guy who wrote the book...
Interrupting the routine are a few marquee social events. The Adams House Masquerade on Halloween weekend succeeds in drawing costumed crowds, but good luck elbowing your way through the door. Though a shadow of its former self, the Harvard-Yale Game in November in the only time you'll see an outpouring of school spirit. Head of the Charles, a regatta weekend in the fall, is more fun for the legions of tourists than the students they inconvenience. And don't be fooled by the excitement of pre-frosh weekend--it's when the admissions brochure...
