...light bulb lighting up over Capote’s head, or how murderer Perry Smith’s first presence will impact Capote forever.Further, the two criminals, Smith (played by Clifton Collins Jr.) and Dick Hickock (Mark Pellegrino) aren’t quite up to the high standard set by the more accomplished costars. Some of this may be attributed to the creative team, as Smith seems a little too smooth around the edges and Hickock is unfortunately overlooked, in an effort to demonstrate Capote’s favoritism towards Smith.

It’s 8:30 p.m. last Thursday night, and people are ready to party. At least they might be; it’s hard to tell, actually. John Harvard’s is mostly filled with a fairly standard-looking crowd.

Representatives from the Judge Advocate General’s Corps...

The rankings reach 11 million people and are the oldest and most standard “objective” comparative measure of universities. In second and third place come the National Survey of Student Engagement and the Washington Monthly rankings. Have you heard of either? Do college-bound seniors (and their ambitious parents) lustfully chant them in their sleep? The U.S. News rankings rule, and no other consistent, equally respected measure exists...
