...fairly win-win for Gaiman. If Stardust becomes the next Princess Bride, then hooray, and if it doesn't, it's back to cult figurehood. "Five years ago, I was absolutely as famous as I wanted to be," he says. "I'm now more famous than I'm comfortable with." In a genre like fantasy, the relationship between artist and fan is a fragile, intimate thing, and in some sense Gaiman is still that nerdy public school kid.

It's why no restaurant will ever give you a reasonably sized stack of pancakes...
...Fortunately, the calendar is a problem that can be easily fixed. By moving the entire calendar up two weeks and shortening exam periods, the College would not lose any days of instruction and Harvard’s generous reading period would be maintained. Calendar reform certainly seems like a win-win situation, and many groups have recognized it as such. In a position paper released last week, the Undergraduate Council (UC) demonstrated the considerable student support for the proposal and laid out a number of additional reasons to change the calendar (if one doesn’t find...
