...with a sense of recent film history can see Thelma & Louise in the honorable line of movies whose makers, without quite knowing what they were doing, sank a drill into what appeared to be familiar American soil and found that they had somehow tapped into a wild- rushing subterranean stream of inchoate outrage and deranged violence. Bonnie and Clyde and Easy Rider, Dirty Harry and Fatal Attraction -- all these movies began as attempts to vary and freshen traditional generic themes but ended up taking their creators, and their audiences, on trips much deeper, darker, more disturbing than anyone imagined they...
...draft of history. If so, then some news events are of such lasting significance that they deserve a second draft.

One can imagine a future in which every student publishes his own magazine and calls himself editor-in-chief. This builds up the student resume, but also builds up the piles of wastepaper in our nation's already overcrowded landfills. Robert Meybank '94 John...
Also, the Democrats need to stream-line their message. Every piece of campaign literature and every TV spot should be focused around two or three central issues. Mike Dukakis was tossed by Bush from Crime one week to defense the next week to taxes the next. The result was a defensive Democratic campaign with little focus...
