...popular art. (The same thing happened this year with Borat. Sacha Baron Cohen, mocking the Festival's fabled history of topless starlets, paraded down the Croisette in a chartreuse G-string, but the film had its one showing off-campus.) It takes a while for the art burghers to catch up with important bumps in the comedy curve. Eight years after MP&HG, the Pythons snagged the Grand Jury Prize for the, I think we can agree, much less adventurous The Meaning of Life. (Give the French another few years, and they'll anoint Baron Cohen as le nouveau Jerry...
...Sally, another one of my patients with Trisomy 21, is a particularly eloquent teenager despite her learning disabilities.

If the Democrats win in the fall elections, the roots of that victory will...
Harvard’s one goal also came during the final eight minutes of play, in between the Quakers’ second and third scoring shots. Freshman forward Andre Akpan, who has been stellar in his rookie year, was able to catch a pass from Altchek and score at 85:00 in the game. Akpan caused the Penn goalie to stretch himself in a dive for the ball, which slipped past and hit the left back corner of the net. It was Akpan’s fourth goal of the season...
