...music smothers emotions it should underscore. One also wonders why an alien intelligence eager for interplanetary contact would kill off the first humans it encounters ("Sorry, wrong number"--ka-boom!). But the film hits its stride with a space-station jitterbug at zero gravity and a desperate stab at lassoing a bucking bronco of a resupply module in outer space. At the end there is real emotional grandeur in a meeting of minds across the galaxy. This isn't 2001, by a long shot, but for 2000, it'll do nicely...
...stuff out), and aim to introduce new, interesting things to them? It's hard to tell: I've heard loads of generalizations about the musical taste of students here at Harvard but I only get to interact with a limited percentage of you. So I take a stab in the dark and pick concerts from musicians that I feel are fairly well-known, or should be better known, and I try to do it with some reverence for music history. Which is how Fiona Apple, Apollo 440 and Lit came to share this page. But then somewhere along the line...
...fleeing enemy army on horseback, one soldier at a time. Leaping onto a fresher horse in mid-gallop and disposing of its hapless owner, he makes short work of the remaining riders and finally succeeds in cutting off the general at the fore, killing him with one swift stab in the chest.

But last week an intruder managed to break into George Harrison's bedroom in the middle of the night and stab him. Harrison's wife Olivia ended the assault by hitting the attacker on the head with a bedside lamp, knocking him unconscious. The ex-Beatle escaped with a one-inch knife wound in the chest. He was treated for a punctured lung, but doctors pronounced him lucky: "There is no such thing as a safe stab wound...
...proof of preschool's greater appeal, consider that while Bill Clinton's most famous domestic policy gaffe is his botched stab at health care reform, his tenfold expansion of Head Start's budget has been virtually unopposed. That's political currency for Gore, who's made an art form of denouncing the President's failures and taking credit for his successes. For Bradley, who's been playing catch-up since the campaign season began, Gore's proposal just widens the gap. Where's Willis Reed when he needs...
