...star-spangled bikini hit the web. “Cougar Town,” a sitcom starring Courtney Cox-Arquette as a divorcee on the prowl, is in the works at ABC, while “The Cougar,” a “Bachelorette” spin-off starring 20 20-somethings gaming for the affection of a 40-year old mother of four, airs weekly on TV Land. Sites like dateacougar.com offer a leopard-print infused twist on eHarmony; outside of the virtual world, cougar speed-dating presents further opportunities for felines to feast...

...projects that Harvard is currently considering cutting or delaying–like housing renovations and Allston development–will have tangible detrimental effects on the quality of the education it provides.

It falls somewhere...

...film’s performances. After an Oscar-winning portrayal of musical genius Ray Charles in 2004, Foxx does not disappoint with his take on the remarkably idiosyncratic, capricious, and conflicted musician Ayers. Robert Downey Jr. has a much less dramatic character to work with, but he manages to spin Lopez into a quirky, not completely selfless version of the quixotic hero. The problem lies not in the dynamic between the two men but rather in the seemingly arbitrary twists and turns of the plot. The film’s end carries no sign of redemption, little trace of failure...
