...bust itself was very upsetting—at 5 a.m. there was a piercing shriek, a high-pitched buzz. The SDS had pulled all of the fire alarms in all of the dorms when they figured out that there was a bust coming. Buses pulled up between Mem Church and Thayer, right outside my window. The state police had come out for this. It was like a scene out of the movies, out of Spartacus—they got off the bus, lined up in phalanxes and marched over to University Hall. I wonder if this was just...
...left to decide whodunit. What would they do? Bitch, bitch, bitch--and then break into song. Francois Ozon's color-coordinated catfight assembles eight fabulous femmes (Catherine Deneuve, Ludivine Sagnier, Virginie Ledoyen, Danielle Darrieux, Isabelle Huppert, Firmine Richard, Emmanuelle Beart and Fanny Ardant) for a game of hide-and-shriek, with each star given a guilty secret and a solo chanson.

And I love the people who are too humiliated to take responsibility, instead simply allowing the phone to complete a cycle of four...
...shriek of Sherron Watkins' letter didn't reach public ears until five months after she wrote it, and even in August concerns like hers seem to have been old news in corner offices, and probably some cubicles, at both companies. And she may well have written it purely to cover herself, to protect that resume when the inevitable happened - the "CYA" letter is as old as business itself. But because she got a reaction - made sure she got a reaction - she did start a daisy chain of provable what-they-knew-and-when-they-knew-it that...
