This morning, don't take your parents to see Marty Feldstein lecture in Harvard Hall. Instead, take them to an overcrowded section in Sever. Try to find a core class being taught by a befuddled TF with no particular expertise in the subject matter. Ask questions he can't answer.

Perhaps more convincing was his point that the prominent buildings in Botticelli...
...Seven left such an indelible impression was that, for all its horrors, there was an artfulness to its perversity, a frightening logic to its atrocities. 8MM, on the other hand, is much more coarse and unrefined in its actions, thrilling certainly but lacking a lyrical approach to its lewd subject...
