...didn't help my cause. I opt for black "Sorority Girl" pants and a black tank top. Emerging newly clad from my room, I am informed by my roommates that my photographer this evening will not be FM Photography Editor Matthew R. Cordell as planned, but rather his friend, Tad Fallows. Hmmm. Tad arrives at 7:30, and my roommates deem him to be more than sufficiently cute...
...This is a fiesta I've been tracking all day--no way would I miss my own House happy hour. The gig is just one floor upstairs, a simple journey for myself and Tad. A few eclectic Winthropians munch on hummus and pita in a corner. The center of attention is a set of pictures from a previous party that featured a great deal more nudity than is evident tonight. My luck is beginning to wane. Fortunately, I find a Deep Springs College transfer named Zach. I chat about life on the farm, sharing the stories of my Kentucky roots...
...Tad and I exit the Winthrop House Gate and are instantly drawn to the sounds of Tone-Loc emanating from a white sport utility vehicle in the MAC parking lot.

Given a potentially world-changing new technology, what does your modern-day greedy capitalist do? Build a theme park! That Barnumesque observation (a tad dated in this age of tech multibillionaires) isn't the only thing that's overfamiliar in this dull time-travel tale from the author of Jurassic Park. Here, America's favorite didact is out to learn us a thing or two about quantum mechanics and taking history seriously. His highly educated, lightly characterized academic heroes get their soft hands roughed up battling 14th century knights rather than prehistoric raptors. Crichton has clearly learned from his best...
