...participation and the muted visibility of this feminist activism continue to plague Harvard. Oppenheim, perceiving women's groups merely to be a place for fuzzy self-esteem games, questions the existence of the Ann Radcliffe Trust at a time when advocates for women's issues should no longer remain silent. Oppenheim shows his lack of understanding when he asks, "As for the existence of 'emotional support,' don't we all need a bit of that?" Perhaps what's really needed at Harvard is not a women's center to address intricate issues of gender politics, but a center to soothe...
...brilliantly subversive decision to release Scream on Dec. 12. While analysts proclaimed the move "ignorant," good ol' Harvey Weinstein knew exactly what he was doing.

On the wall was etched a testimony, scratched into the stone by a previous occupant: "I believe in God, the Father Almighty," read the jagged writing. The words sustained him, McCain told the crowd, through his 2 1/2-year solitude. When he finished...
...contained by the movies conceit to really stick with you. Perhaps its symbolic of what Allen has achieved here that Mortons Hattie is the only character who transcends the movies clever but self-limiting setup. Though Allen is traditionally known for his witty, fast-paced dialogue, youll remember her silent, expressive eyes long after everything else about Sweet and Lowdown has faded away...
