...many of the 6,000 members, we wonder, voted for Marcia Gay Harden as Best Supporting Actress? In "Pollock," a film that has earned all of $3 million at the box office, she played Jackson Pollock's nattering, long-suffering wife Lee Krasner. In retrospect, and by the curious logic pertaining to Oscar, the award made sense. The Academy loves actresses whose roles demand they abase themselves in obscure accents. An underdog role can guarantee a victory in an election when most of the voters are actors, and in a time when serious acting is considered a mix of attitude...

...major contributor to late-'60s-early-'70s rock, and he was being shilled in a parking lot on the coincidence of a current movie title being the same as his band's name 30 years earlier! And the dubious claim of being an inspiration to a one-hit-wonder teen group whose claim to fame four years ago was a song called "Mmmmmmbop...

...March 15, FM published an opinion piece entitled "The Invasian." A few days later, on March 19, students gathered together to protest the opinion piece, the ideas contained therein and The Crimson for publishing it. I read the piece, and I cannot help but wonder why there was so much commotion. Did the author, Justin G. Fong '03, really tell Harvard students anything they could not already see with their own eyes everyday in the dining hall? Black students sit and eat and talk together. Asian students sit and eat and talk together. Athletes sit and eat and talk together...

...this a case of poetic justice? Surprisingly, BC and its coach Al Skinner decided not to punish Harley or Bryant after the January incident "until all the facts were known." One must wonder whether that decision was based upon the merits of an innocent-until-proven-guilty philosophy or the importance of maintaining team chemistry on a then-undefeated basketball team. In any event, it was immensely ironic that Harley was kept on the team only to make the costliest error of the season...
