...Some viewers, anyway. Emotions are hard to describe in words, harder to justify in a roomful of cinema intellectuals, some of whom hooted derisively at the end of Once You're Born. A movie gets to you or it doesn't, makes you cry or leaves you cold. We'll just say that, for maybe half of this film, one of us (the one with the beard) was wetter than Sandro on that night in the Mediterranean.

...online resources where Harvard is dolefully under-represented and could use some love from our neck of the woods; not the least of these is www.profquotes.com, which highlights funny things that professors have said—surely they’re all scrawled in the margins of your notebook anyway, so you might as well put them (anonymously, if you like) where your peers, your professors, and the national press can read them...
