...Colin Powell was the last gasp of the polarized campus, or at least a raucous send-off for the last class that really knew how to stir up controversy, even if they weren't the masters. Al Gore is the dirge for the first class that lacked the rhetorical hare-trigger that made the Harvard campus an interesting, if sometimes tense, place...
...present students could meet. The only news Penninsula makes these days concerns how little news it makes. The old guard--Roger Landry, Sumner Anderson, and company--were walking controversies.

Koepp's film, to open in September, stars Kevin Bacon as a blue-collar guy haunted by intimations of a distressed, deceased soul somewhere in his house. Says Koepp: "I tried creating a sense of total reality, because the movies that always scared the hell out of me were set in real, almost mundane domestic situations."
