...HFPA gets a lot of giggles from "real" critics, who say that the group's membership consists of part-time journalists, full-time cater-waiters and valet parkers. But don't laugh at these representatives of overseas newspapers and magazines. They know how to throw a party. Double the number of nomination slots for movies, from the Motion Picture Academy's quintet to 10 - five dramas and five comedies or musicals. (Indeed, so rich was this year's bounty of films that the voters couldn't even contain their finalists to a list of five; they made room for seven...

Hallion followed her own advice. The senior from nearby Westwood, Mass., scored 14 of her 19 points in the second half.

...passers-by. Everyone was much more taken with the one-woman protest going on just down the street. Never afraid to add some spectacle to her fierce displays of idealism, Maya D. Simpson ‘11 was engaged in an inspired bit of performance art. She would first throw handfuls of Monopoly money into the air. Then, when pedestrians unsuspectingly bent to pick it up, she assailed them for their crass materialism. I approached her and said, Maya, it’s pretty obnoxious of you to keep tricking these people...
