...Prince Charles, or Tasos Michael) is a rotten, unfeeling, abusive cad, and inflicts a humiliation upon a naive and innocently hopeful young woman. 2)Instead of a Havisham withdrawal, however, the young woman goes vividly public with her trauma and plays the story out in the media, turning her shame not only into triumph but into revenge. Thus Nicole paraded her drama all over national television last week. Broken dreams make you a star. The contemptible non-groom was holed up in Tahiti, where the honeymoon was to have been. The louse did not get to the beach much, because...
...course, there's also "Summertime," the first single on Static and Silence and "that song" everyone brings up when the Sundays are mentioned. "Summertime" has a contagiously hummable chorus but completely indiscernible verse lyrics, which is a shame because, as the most upbeat and melodious of the album's songs, the track is also one of its deepest and most poetic. It begins by painting a honeymoon postcard picture, complete with a "romantic Piscean," an "angel in disguise" and a Poconos-style "heart-shaped hotel room."

It's evident that the chefs in this exotic kitchen know how to combine their dressings and vegetables and sides to create a well blended, flavorful and satisfying meal. You just have to trust their judgment. It would be a shame to ask them to leave out the pomegranate and ask for ketchup instead...
...soft-sell advertising campaign doesn't entice the average student, its films aren't exactly typical popcorn fare either: in terms of the eccentricity, the sheer 'foreignness' of many of its movies, the Archive puts theaters like the Brattle to shame. Although "The Shining," "Blade Runner" and even "Robocop" have popped up on its large, cinema-quality screen in recent weeks, the vast majority of its offerings are not in English, a similarly high percentage are more than a decade old and about half its films tend to be in black and white...
