...been Antley's first brush with the law. Two months earlier, police stopped him after he drove his green Jeep Cherokee erratically through downtown Pasadena. He admitted to having drunk an entire bottle of vodka and had a breath-alcohol content of 0.26%, more than three times the legal limit. A more serious run-in came in October, when Tyler summoned police to the house claiming Antley had been talking about going to the airport to pick up his wife Natalie, saying "I'm going to do away with...
...eking out an existence buying German-language rights to non-German films, then selling the product to cinemas and TV stations. Like film producers, such distributors succeed or fail on the basis of their ability to pick winners and avoid losers. But while a producer can control cost and content from day one, distributors bid on individual films or bundles of films that are already in the can.

(I have one word for you: broadband...
...content of Benhabib's critique, we are not sure that granting Social Studies full departmental status would really be the best thing for all involved. Social Studies is an interdisciplinary concentration, integrating work from history, political science, sociology, economics, anthropology and philosophy. It thus derives its strength from being able to draw upon the best resources of several other departments, rather than being confined to a short list of its own professors. Furthermore, Social Studies could--and we would argue, should--have many of the advantages which Benhabib misses in its current organization without having to endure the long process...
