...movie's patina of textual and textural accuracy comes from voluminous research by the BBC Films team, including interviews with Windsor insiders, a chatty crowd. Elizabeth might be expected to run a tight ship with tight lips; but because royal scandal is a marketable commodity and the tabloid press voracious and rapacious, Buckingham Palace regularly springs more leaks than the Titanic. So you may take it as gossip gospel that Princess Margaret made the ungenerous observation quoted in the film that Diana was even "more irritating dead than alive."

Most Lit and Arts A classes will require you to write a few papers that display some level of proficiency with literary criticism, close reading, and textual analysis.

Islamic Studies as a field of scholarly inquiry is as virgin as it is significant. Textual analysis of important Islamic texts remains for the most part an untapped and sometimes even dangerous scholarly pursuit. Once given the resources it deserves, the field has the potential to facilitate a much-needed pluralism, one that would revolutionize how Muslims understand themselves as well as how others understand Islam.
