...bleachers agreed with him. But not everyone enjoyed being partially submerged in chlorinated fluid. Rather than experiencing a chilly sense of dread, Vanessa A. Pope ’07 just felt chilled. “It wasn’t that well thought out; it was really cold. I wish it had been a screening of ‘Titanic,’ because then the cold would have been more realistic.” “Titanic” may have been appropriate for the bikini-clad, but for those with their feet dangling in dark water, Jaws...
...that a class on film can offer insights into human psychology, a grasp of regulatory economics can inform research proposals for environmental engineering, and in my case, a veritable course catalog of disciplines can offer insight into the relationship between social values and political decision-making. I only wish I’d realized it sooner...
...offerings in the souvenir shops don't quite capture the majestic beaches and quaint villages you've enjoyed over the past two weeks. Either they're too bawdy for Grandpa or they feature the talent-free scrawlings of a local artist. You can't help but think, "I wish I could make my own postcards."

A perception that Opus' ecclesiastical power knew no limits peaked with Escriv's 1992 beatification, a brief (for those days) 17 years after his death. Faultfinders, notes Allen, claimed that the judging panel had been packed and Escriv's critics blackballed; they viewed...
...Will you letme tell it in my own way?" begs the tough-guy narrator (Robert Arden) of this 1955 crime drama. Alas, neither he nor Welles--the film's star, writer and director--got his wish. Arkadin was taken from Welles, its convoluted form ironed out and the result renamed Confidential Report. At least seven versions of the film exist, none to his specifications. This superb Criterion DVD pack offers three variations, including a new "complete" assembly. In any form, it's a rococo mix of Citizen Kane and The Third Man: a study of a rich...
