...University’s overall expenditures, the absolute value of $10 million is nevertheless enormous—especially when one considers the academic work these dollars support. Are we really to think that Harvard serves society best by devoting $10 million to create marginal improvements for a couple thousand employees instead of, say, using that money to fund cancer research...
...past two months he has replayed the series of events surrounding the collision a thousand times in his mind. His sub had gone down to 400 ft. and shot back again in a rapid-surfacing maneuver known as an "emergency blow"--directly underneath the Ehime Maru.

...boys try to capitalize on their personalities by walking out, one at a time, to graciously receive the screams of a thousand girls. The music is a mere afterthought, scattered throughout the self-congratulatory banter, but the high-energy “Every Six Seconds” at the very end shows that at least they can pull off a quality dance tune. “All or Nothing,” their second single, has some decent (non-lipsynched) singing, but the inane repetition of “Giiiirrrrrlllll,” with Jacob moonwalking, earns no points...
