...last time you got into a discussion with a roommate over reading for a class you don't have in common, or even one you do have in common? Hey, when is the last time you talked about anything with your roommates? Harvard often seems like an intellectual wasteland...
...little history for the fashion deprived. In the beginning, there were a few industry giants like Lauder, Revlon and L'Oreal in a wasteland of dull, uniform colors.

Weirdly, both Wasteland and Oh Grow Up have sent their gay men on dates with men who turned out to be straight. Williamson says Russell will have an active love life, but Ball and Mutchnick say they're not that interested in entering the bedrooms of their straight or gay characters. True, that's convenient. But in a sense, to focus...
