...four students in the room that night admitted that they attended Holly’s classes for their sedative effects. “It’s really very relaxing,” said Richard C. Lonsdorf ’06 as he put the finishing touches on a shallow earth-toned bowl he was glazing. A quick glance at the other projects on the shelves shed light on the students’ new-found love for clay. No less than eight ceramic shot glasses awaited their turn in the kiln...
Really? Then where are all the other current Ben Afflecks? Clowns aside, there is a shallow pool of American leading men in their 30s. Affleck's pal Matt Damon has had hits and flops, though fewer of each than Ben. Same with Edward Norton. They all bound from action picture to indie, as Affleck has--from Jerry Bruckheimer (Armageddon, Pearl Harbor) to Kevin Smith (Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jersey Girl), from starring in potential franchise pictures (The Sum of All Fears, Daredevil) to doing cameos in films by friends...

Yet after the public pressure following the news of H Bomb, the administration promptly released a statement saying that they would begin to further investigate this...
...Critiquing the Players Joe Klein got it right about John Kerry [Feb. 2]. There is something missing (call it electability), as was the case with Al Gore. It worries me no end that if Kerry is the Democratic candidate, he will lose to the simplistic, shallow, flag-waving appeal of George W. Bush. The U.S. needs someone like John Edwards to inspire its youth and other voters to participate and to get rid of the Bush scourge on America's national welfare and future. Carl Richane Slough, England...
