...assigned to sleuth out the rat on the team - himself. The Departed adds one coincidence even the Hong Kong film didn't dare: that both men would become romantically involved with the same woman, Madolyn, a police psychiatrist, well played by Vera Farmiga. (In the original, the shrink and the bad cop's girlfriend were separate characters.) Oh, and the cell phones all these guys whisper their subversions into - can't they be bugged...
...similar role, of the charming swine, in The Talented Mr. Ripley.) What's true about Colin's nature is that he's the man on the rise and on the make, with a practiced smile that can impress the cops and please the ladies. When he meets Madolyn, the shrink, he suavely spouts this apercu: "Freud said the Irish were the only people who were impervious to psychoanalysis."

And then there's "cork taint," those moldy smells and tastes caused by trichloranisole, a chemical that some experts estimate adversely affects up to 10% of all bottles of wine. (Synthetic corks solve some of those issues but raise their own.) Recently, however...
...electronic component, which must be submitted before 10 a.m. on the given due date). The class description states, “Students will learn how others think about uncertainty and risk and how better to assess uncertainty in their own lives.” It sounds like something a shrink might teach you; Harvard costs about 5,000 bucks a class, which, depending on your shrink, might be a deal. Or, you could jump on the bandwagon and take QR 34, “Counting People: Demography and Human Affairs,” a massively popular QR. It?...
