...shame that in arguing for a reduction in the size of the Undergraduate Council (a goal I fully support) prior to approving a term-bill increase, the editorial staff feels the need to put forth baseless assertions about the council's competence (Editorial, Nov. 18). In particular, I'm interested in what the editorial staff finds to be the council's "mediocre campus-wide events." Are these the Harvard-Yale weekend festivities? The Game tailgate has served food to 1,000 people each of the last three years, and the shuttles to the Harvard-Yale game at Yale transport over...
...spirit of the Headless Horseman still resided somewhere, it would be in the vast fields that surround Irving's house. So, I headed over to the estate, bought a ticket for the tour and braced myself for what was destined to put a Universal Studios horror tour to shame. Sure, I began to be skeptical when I saw that my tour mates were either hobbling retirees or elementary school children...

It is a shame that it took the loss of over 10,000 lives to break a gridlock that existed not between the people but the institutions of Ankara and Athens. As Papandreou pointed out, the people in the two countries were similar; it was their governments that were keeping them apart...
...lines, and Salma's stripping muse seems superfluous until you remember that Smith's core audience is teenagers. Fiorentino is the only actor among her heavenly posse, and she handles her role as the skeptical "last Scion" in a way that puts the comic relief's performances to shame. What excuses some of the ill-delivered lines and questionable characters is the enthusiasm you can feel the performers have for this movie (many took pay cuts to work on Dogma). They know that the film will be hotly debated, but they remain loyal to their desire to work with Smith...
