...sequins were out in full force, adorning tiny tank tops, suction-tight pants and intricately made-up eyes. For the males, jeans and button-downs were standard, though a few took the dance’s Greek theme to heart. Wrapped in a white sheet masquerading as a toga, Jesse M. Burros ’05 gave his take on all the fuss. “Have you seen the freshman girls?” he exclaimed. “Why shouldn’t they be free? They’re hot!” The interview...
...pictures? He could so he did, in "On the Town," "American in Paris" and "Singin? in the Rain." These big climactic numbers didn?t always fit the tone of the story that preceded them; it was like serving Cristal at the end of a frat-house toga party.

After I barely avoided getting hit by Cathy as Uch threw her in the pool, I looked down and saw a deep...
Ridley Scott's Gladiator glances back to the old sword-and-toga epics, and it's surely sturdier than the 1959 Ben-Hur (which won an unconscionable 11 Oscars). It has the fights and the fraught manhood while skipping the piety. DreamWorks, the film's distributor, knows how to market a movie to the Academy; it won last year with the smallish American Beauty. And the film boasts a strong, unsentimental performance from Russell Crowe...
