...Harvard education will indeed do that. Most will find good jobs, pay off their student loans, purchase a house (in most places, anyway), and start families. But for those who want to pursue an unconventional or public service career, that price might prove to be a serious hindrance. The problem will be all the greater for your peers at less widely recognized colleges, many of whom will graduate with equally large debts and without a brand-name diploma to help boost their earnings potential. For them, the price of their higher education will be a lifelong burden...

We end up careening between multiple iterations of the same musicians, massed before neon-hued backgrounds. Part of the band’s personality problem stems from lead singer and lyricist Paul Smith. He’s dreamy enough to be a frontman, but he’s saddled with an unblinking intensity that can’t help but unnerve fawning girls. While his winsome lyrics bring Split Enz to mind, his clenched, discomfiting stage presence...
