Dear Freak of the Week,
I had a protein bar in my bag for months. It wasn’t there because I really liked the flavor, or because I ever actually planned to eat it. It was there because having it felt like the responsible thing to do — a small, sealed backup plan for a version of the day that might go slightly wrong. I carried it because I imagined, vaguely, that at some point I’d find myself in lab for too many hours on end, or stranded somewhere right before a midterm with no other form of sustenance in sight, and I’d need something that quietly proved I thought ahead.
Dartmouth got it right.

Through its two-hour run time, “I Swear” maintains a remarkable tonal balance that elevates it from an entertaining film to a truly great one. It approaches Tourette syndrome with searing intimacy, never shying away from the awful consequences that those who live with it endure, and yet it also recognizes the humor inherent in its manifestations. The film masterfully presents its subject’s tics?— shouting “half-price heroin!” in front of police officers, “I’m a pedo!” during a job interview or “fuck the Queen!” during an audience with Elizabeth II herself — as simultaneously horrifying and outrageously funny. The movie’s command of its emotional register also allows it to be unexpectedly poignant as it tells an extremely personal true story that’s both heartbreaking and inspiring.

Americans should not “underestimate what a dangerous moment this is for women,” former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama and University of Alabama School of Law professor Joyce Vance told attendees at an April 27 event hosted by the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy.
