...Hillel experience,” said Avishai D. Don ’12. “I don’t know how exactly the minyanim [set of Jewish prayer groups] is going to be affected by the financial crisis.” Hillel Associate Director Michael Simon assured students during the meeting that there would definitely be a continued rabbinical presence in the Hillel community. “There will be rabbis on staff [next year], and at least one who primarily serves undergraduate students,” he said.

The Federal Reserve and Treasury left creditors at Lehman Brothers adrift in September, and the repercussions were so dire that regulators resolved not to let such...
...over-the-top sex scene to some comical music choices, such as “Ride of the Valkyries” as Dr. Manhattan wins in Vietnam. Inclusion of Jimi Hendrix’s rendition of “All Along the Watchtower” and the overused Simon and Garfunkel hit “The Sounds of Silence” feels heavy-handed and forced, but Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are a-Changin’” brilliantly caps a montage explaining the alternate world in which the Watchmen reside.
