...slipper, two kisses, three balls, and four brave princes later, these good females were rescued from bad fruit and several very wicked witches. In spite of the well-justified feminist disgust for these pathetic Disney damsels (has anyone really listened to Snow White’s pre-pubescent vocal tones?), I can’t help feeling nostalgic for a time when a man saved his woman. Before bad boy meant good catch, and before nice guy meant lame date. Before being a good girlfriend entailed editing a badly written thesis. Before bad behavior drew female attention. Before they said...
...opening, as if Disney felt like taking self-effacing shots at the Mouse, ala the Dream Works monopoly. The tragedy of “Little” is that Disney was so close. The amazing cast, including Joan Cusack and Steve Zahn, is actually qualified to do solid vocal work, not just be a cool celebrity cameo (I’m looking at you, Katie Couric in “Shark Tale”). But they can’t turn bad lines into good ones. Braff conquers with his delivery and lucks out on having some choice lines with...

Lundy ‘09, ran on stage with a broom...
...chairman must choose which way to lean. Greenspan, like Paul Volcker before him, is a proven inflation fighter. But Bernanke shows signs of tolerating rising prices. When the economy was threatened with deflation (generally falling prices) a few years ago, "he among all the Fed governors was most vocal about the need to generate inflation," says Alan Wild, a global fixed-income manager for Barings Bank. In November 2002, Bernanke publicly spoke of options, citing Milton Friedman's famous "helicopter drop" of money into the pockets of consumers via tax rebates to stimulate spending, which was radical stuff from...
