...novel than it is a synopsis of it-ploddingly plotted, enlivened by the occasional shock occurrence, lacking that attention to mood and nuance which made Curtis Hanson's version of another Ellroy novel, L.A. Confidential, such a rich, rewarding entertainment a few years ago. You begin to wonder: maybe it's time to give film noir a rest. The academics have had their fun with it; no genre has attracted more scholarly attention in recent years. And we've had our fun with it too; the DVD re-releases of its classic titles and cult favorites have been delicious reminders...
...Wonder why French politicians are falling over one another these days to distance themselves from politics as usual? Look no further than the 16th chamber at the Palace of Justice in Paris, where 15 politicians and ex-officials went on trial this week for electoral fraud in a case that has been batted around a rickety French justice system for a full 17 years...

...barrage of questions follows any Religion concentrator. Your peers and even your parents will wonder what you’ll do with your degree in the field of religion. Prepare answers ahead of time, but rest assured that plenty of graduates from this concentration opt for careers beyond the nunnery or local Buddhist monastery. All religion concentrators choose a particular track, whether it be a religion (Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, etc.) or an area (East Asia, Modern West, etc.). The courses you take do not necessarily come from your focus; the whole department is essentially a free-for-all when...
