Instead it ransacks the fantasy-film trunk for hand-me-down thrills, and counts on the sleek beauty of Romijn, Famke Janssen (quite fetching as Class 5 mutant Jean Gray) Halle Berry (the wonder weather woman Storm) to lure the boy market into theaters. For the rest of us, there's the spectacle of Patrick Stewart exploding into particles...

But while we gallivant down to New York for that Goldman-Sachs internship we just happened to get or settle with a sigh into being a barista at a hometown Starbucks, many of the people who provide meals for us every day wonder how they’ll feed their own families come June. This is one of the many concerns of the Student Labor Action Movement’s (SLAM) latest campaign to improve the lot of Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) workers in light of next month’s contract...
