When I woke up Saturday morning, ready to complain about only getting three hours of sleep, a quick look in the mirror shut me up. My right eye was completely red. Not red like, “Wow, your eye looks pretty bloodshot.” Red like someone had colored it in with a magic marker...

These scenes of successful sonic-imagistic synthesis mirror the bizarre brilliance of songs such as “Summertime Clothes:” they are interesting, frightening and revelatory. However the film can, at times, become lost in its overly obscurantist mode. At one point, a single shot of a random red and black plane upon a white background lingers for at least five minutes. Multiple times, loud and abrasive sounds punctuate tranquil, motif-less scenes, with the sole aim to shock. It is in scenes such as these that the film becomes overly self-indulgent, relinquishing the aesthetic brilliance...

...studio of Vi T. Vu ’10 is stacked with paintings. Vividly fluorescent animal and vegetal figures leap across dark backgrounds, multiplying in mirror images of each other.

They found that the kids who had received the award spent half as much time drawing for fun as those who had not been rewarded. The reward, it seemed, diminished the act of drawing. So instead of giving kids gold stars, Deci says, we should teach them to derive intrinsic pleasure from the task itself. "What we really want is for people to value the activity of learning," he says. People of all ages perform better and work harder if they are actually...

...self-contained insularity of American life has been commented on endlessly, with its gated communities, mirror-tinted SUVs and Xbox-equipped "man caves" requiring zero participation in public life. But these ever narrowing areas of interest, however great they may be - and things like all-Latin fried-chicken chain Pollo Campero or Bacon of the Month Club are really, really great - point out that we are no longer a single nation. And when you lose that, you lose the foods that go with it, like the old standards of roast beef and twice-baked potatoes and lobsters served with melted...
