...late (and great) Allan Bloom perhaps put it best when he said "love suggests something wonderful, exciting, positive, and firmly seated in the passions. A relationship is gray, amorphous, suggestive of a project, without a given content and tentative. You work at a relationship, whereas love takes care of itself...
...turn out to be the most detailed snapshot ever taken of the depressed mind, showing where melancholy is mapped on the gray matter of the brain. Writing in last week's Nature, Drevets and his co-workers reported that they had zeroed in on a tiny, thimble-size nodule of the brain located about 2 1/2 inches behind the bridge of the nose. Other scientists had already shown that this section of the brain, called the subgenual prefrontal cortex, plays an important role in the control of emotions. But Drevets, who has since moved to the University of Pittsburgh, discovered...
...white robes holding placards emblazoned with some variation on the end is near. This strikes me as odd since, at least from a strictly millennial point of view, the end is near.

Brodsky '99 as a hilariously dippy, brocade-clad Julia Child-like chef--aptly named Cookie--married to Ernie. Indeed, the odd-couple of Hawkes and Brodsky wins hands-down as the best pairing in the show, and it's a tribute to their skill that the somewhat corny physical humor delineated to them (especially Cookie) becomes irresistibly funny in their hands...
...home of an upperclass couple, Charlie and Myra Brock. It is the night of their 10th wedding anniversary, and they are giving--or are supposed to be giving--a party to celebrate the occasion. The first guests, Ken Gorman (Jed Silverstein '97) and wife Chris (Abigail H. Gray '99), arrive just in time to hear the sound of a gunshot. Upon rushing up to the bedroom, they discover that Charlie, for motives unknown, has shot himself in the ear. Myra is nowhere to be seen...
