I’m in one of my Fellini Fhases, watching Amarcord (which I have always liked) on Friday and Juliet of the Spirits (which I always haven’t) on Saturday. It just comes upon me, you know? And then I’m back in a world of big-breasted women in heavy eye makeup. Anyway, I was browsing around looking for [...]

Dennis Perrin is the only person I know who is as obsessed as I am with the comedy of the 1970s. Actually, who am I kidding? For all the best reasons, Dennis is MORE obsessed than I am, as anyone who has ever picked up his tremendous biography of NatLamp/SNL stalwart Michael O’Donoghue can attest. [...]

In the fall of 1990, I had no interest in World War I; then as now, I studied history for the story of it, and there didn’t seem to be any narrative in that conflict. No personalities, no resolution, just four years of static, blood-drenched dress rehearsal for the much more satisfying sequel played out [...]

The “Veritas” about Harvard…and Yale, and Princeton, and….

Thought-provoking article from the Chronicle of Higher Education. I think it’s right on the money…in every sense of that phrase.

Ahh, to be young and smart and funny and at Harvard and heavily influenced by McSweeney’s…And yes, I smile as I say that. Legion is a great-looking blog that I’m going to be checking out, and forwarding to my friend Ed Park, because THESE ARE HIS PEOPLE. The young rascals have found the manual for [...]

Ed over at Dullblog has posted the happy news that Yale has given Paul McCartney an honorary degree. I wonder if they’ll hit him up for money? “Your Class Dues, Mr. McCartney, cover the costs of your Alumni Magazine…”

As everybody knows, today marks a profoundly important day in the history of our country. After September 11th, America—and the world—would never be the same. All around the globe, the wicked celebrate this anniversary, while the good and decent pause in their labors only for a moment—then rejoin the fight with redoubled resolve. It was [...]

For best viewing, allow the video to load completely. Audio version is here. Princeton has been awarded the top spot in the US News rankings of America’s finest colleges. That sound you hear is thousands of bowties being loosened in celebration. And that other sound you hear is thousands of “Future Princeton Alum” t-shirts being [...]

Audio version is here. I went to school in New Haven. This is what everybody who went to Yale says. They’re just begging you to ask them for more information. Then when you finally pry it out of them, they mumble, “Oh, Yale.” Like “perhaps you’ve heard of it…It’s not much, but we like it.” [...]
