...really not thinking at all. (I would compare it to Salman Rushdie or The English Patient. The latter is a terrible, thuddingly boring movie. And no, it wasn't intelligent. Just because people speak with a British accent doesn't mean they're intelligent.)... Speaking of which, why are pseudo-accents popping up all over Harvard? If I hear one more fake British accent that falls away when the person gets plastered...Rumor has it that the trendiest classes this semester are: Soc 150, German Bab, Foreign Cultures 76 ("Nazis for ROTCs"), Womens Studies 156 ("Hardcore Sex")--and Rome...
...take on a unique feel--aimed at the young crowd and dripping with Harvard wit. If Let's Go is new territory for you, allow FM to be your guide into the inner workings of the organization: many of its followers subscribe to Let's Go dogma with a pseudo-cultish devotion, but what happens behind the doors at 67 Mt.

Or, possibly most addling to a poet, the rise of industrialized mass culture...
...questions you didn't ask. They live to pow-wow through Phillips Brooks House Association (PBHA) cabinet meetings, posture in Undergraduate Council focus groups and recite the Saturday morning Crimson Key tour. They are the bull-horn-toting-riot-causing ring leaders, the creme de la creme of undergraduate pseudo-intellectual literati, the "Dan Lungren's new best friend" gov jocks. Join us for an evening chat with Harvard's 15 biggest mouths...
