But some students said they appreciated the sensory overload. “It was way better than Dartmouth’s [prefrosh weekend],” said Alexa I. Stern of Winchester, Mass. “There’s just so much to do—we’ve been having so much fun.” While many attendees commented on the unstructured nature of the weekend, they said they liked that the program didn?...

When Michael Moore came to the actor's home and confronted him, for the climactic scene of the 2002 pro-gun-control documentary Bowling for Columbine, Heston looked both gracious and stern, perplexed and frail. In movie terms it was an unfair fight, because Moore had the heavier artillery: not his arguments, necessarily, but his camera and the power of an editor over an actor...
