Point:Counterpoint
Point: Vandy is for the socially stagnated and lazy!
I think that HMS is lucky to have Vanderbilt Hall. It is a great place to meet new friends and get your feet underneath you in new city and the tough environment of HMS. It is akin to a nest.

Fresh Cut
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Kit Lo
Is there a curse on third films of movie trilogies? The Godfather: Part III, Return of the Jedi, and Alien3 were all noticeably weaker than their predecessors. But anyone concerned that The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is headed in the direction of the Star Wars prequels or The Matrix can breathe easy-as hard as it is to believe, it's even better than the first two installments...
