...stuff. Like the possibility, say, that you could be riding on a train with your boyfriend and the same guy who killed your mother might glower at you from a corner. Or worse. The final twist of Will Fetters' screenplay has already been revealed in some reviews (there are small clues in the film, but it is obvious only if you, like critics, see too many movies). It won't be here, although I see the temptation; it's challenging to accurately assess Remember Me's merits without discussing whether the end is grossly manipulative or fair use of wrenching...
Rooms: Un-pfreaking-believable. Almost everyone (except for a small population of unlucky sophomores) is guaranteed a single for all three years. It's possible for sophomores at the bottom of the housing lottery to get something as excessive as a 230 sq. ft. single. Sophomores live in mostly smaller suites of connected (but not walk-through) singles while juniors and seniors can take their pick of a top floor duplex suite in one of the three “bricks” (Holmes, Comstock, or Moors) or a highly prized wood-floored gargantuan suite in Wolbach.

Next year, Lowell will be taking over a floor of DeWolfe, so sophomores will also have that option. Eventually, if you are looking...
...down to the North Carolina border, it was once home to thriving textile and tobacco industries. But jobs have been drying up for decades; in the city of Martinsville, unemployment has soared over 20%. Outside such liberal enclaves as Charlottesville, the district is a conservative stronghold of farms and small-business owners who resent federal intrusions. In 2008, Perriello cashiered incumbent Republican Virgil Goode by capitalizing on an Obama-fueled turnout of African-American and college-age voters. And while Perriello held 21 health care town halls last summer, the most of any member of Congress, his support of health...
