...limber enough for yoga (plus I think some positions should only be practiced in, well, whatever), I can't speak French, my Spanish has degenerated into grade-A Spanglish, and I only know the words "caprese" and "fiorello" in Italian. Art history always profoundly befuddled me, I confuse gothic and Romanesque architecture, my brother constantly accuses of me not only of being uncultured but also tasteless, I'm always behind a season when it comes to style, and last but not least, wine gives me a thunderous headache. I swallowed hard before putting it all together. Gasp...

This contracting population serves as further evidence of Yale's descent into a medieval state. Evidence of the school's sad decay is ubiquitous: Yale's Gothic spires mark centuries of cultural decline; its students venerate the relics of Handsome Dan, the bulldog mascot whose decaying corpse is still on display in Yale's Peabody Museum; its cults adopt the archaic nomenclature of Spizzwinks, Wiffenpoofs and the Skull and Bones.

...only thing the saves Blair Witch 2, besides Berlinger's admittedly handsome visuals, is the presence of Donovan and Leerhausen, two actors who seem to be playing characters in a cooler, scarier, and all around more clever movie than this one. Kim's astutely rendered, down-to-earth gothic gal and Jeff's laid-back techno slacker keep the lurching story afloat long after it should have sunk-it's just too bad that this uninspired sequel basically arrived D.O.A...

...Renaissance" of the city of Kyoto, then Japan's capital, after the ferociously destructive civil wars of the 16th century, when Japan was finally stabilized under three successive autocratic warlords. Rather as Italians thought their Renaissance was an upwelling of disciplined classicism--Rome reborn from the ashes of "barbarous" Gothic--so the Kyoto Renaissance strove to recall the spirit of the Japanese past, as far back as the Heian era (794-1185), especially in the domain of writing.
