...breakout opus—if it insists on being so autobiographical and depicting a rapper who actually still has some hunger in his rhymes. Despite a few passable performances, most notably from “Hustle & Flow’s” Terrence Howard as a somewhat unhinged Southerner, “Get Rich” fails to maintain the myth of 50 Cent. The only rap performance, rather than being a climactic moment, is relegated to the closing credits and the Christ-like imagery of 50’s on-stage disrobing is simply uncomfortable, not divinely inspired. Ultimately...

I’m very worried about missing this next year. It scares me that I won’t have constant access to dozens of friends at all hours...
...leader noticed the UC’s 1997 denunciation of China’s human rights record are slim to none. The UC’s record led us to write just under four years ago that “the UC has an unfortunate history of being a somewhat irrelevant campus organization.” Politics should be outside the realm of the UC for two reasons. First, representatives are not elected for their political views. Whatever the reason that UC candidates garner votes—from having great ideas about how to improve Harvard to generally being nice...
