...didn't even tell them that the very popular, and very good, Pixar cartoon Ratatouille lost out to a French movie about the troubles in Iran. (Though Persepolis, take my word for it, is funny.) By the time I'd got back to my office I had realized that we critics may give these awards to the winners, but we give them for ourselves. In fact, we're essentially passing notes to one another, admiring our connoisseurship at the risk of ignoring the vast audience that sees movies and the smaller one that reads...

But one look into her bright eyes, perceptibly curious and insistently alive, and it is easy to understand their impressions. Dakin is currently a Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, and will be performing with the Harvard Contemporary Dance Ensemble this weekend. When asked how she would introduce her solo...
