"The Negotiator" is one of those summer movies that might easily be overlooked. However, if any film has the chance to vault above its competitors this summer, it is this one. Why, you ask, faithful reader? I'll tell you. There are two reasons why "The Negotiator" has what it takes: Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey. These two consummate actors turn what could have been a mildly amusing thriller into a real pulse-pounder.

Today, of course, it is customary to collapse, if not overwrite, our individual characteristics into new, but now acceptable, stereotypes." Those were the words of Clarence Thomas this past week as he spoke to the National Bar Association. Thomas' speech and appearance were controversial but his speech touched on one of the most discouraging aspects of our cultural malaise. That is our tendency to reduce the individual to a racial or ethnic characteristic.

There is something decidedly unnatural about taking classes during the summer. I become painfully aware of this every morning when I wake up to the beautiful sunshine and sigh contentedly. Then, about three minutes later, I remember that I am in Hanover, and that somehow I have to shower and get to class in under thirty minutes. On half of the days, as I am scurrying to class, I seriously contemplate parking myself on the Green and remaining there for several hours. But of course, I go to class. At least my body does. I think that the rest of me stays out outside, immersed in the warm sunlight and comfy grass. I'm writing this on the Green, as a matter of fact. I've realized that sitting out here is much more conducive to philosophizing than doing anything remotely resembling real work. When I'm tired of thinking, there's always people watching, napping, and various other activities that are so much more fun than reading or writing papers.

The depictions of teenagers in movies really makes me ill most of the time. High school is so often shown as a washed-out unrealistic happy white-boy paradise that it seems like no one has any recollections of what actually happened. Teens are whimpering children, unable to handle the slightest problem. Teen horror flicks are the worst offenders. In almost every case, they could easily handle their tormentors if they just procured a handgun.

"Saving Private Ryan" may be the most realistic depiction of war ever to invade the silver screen. This is a brutal, harrowing film. Never before has the brutality of war been so clearly presented. But after one gets past the already well-publicized gore, "Ryan" is about human beings. It's about regular people doing the hardest thing in the world, making sacrifices most of us can't comprehend, leaving home, loved ones and sometimes life itself, all to fight naked aggression. It's about the little people involved in the historical event. The greatest strength of "Saving Private Ryan" is its ability to make real the struggles of everyday men in an unearthly situation.

After hearing that the Green Card, a corporation run by former Dartmouth students, is taking over the DASH office, I thought it would be a great idea to see other student-run organizations take over College offices. After several nights of heavy drinking and an organic chemistry lab, I came up with a list of offices that could be taken over by related student groups and run much more efficiently.

She's a treat.", "----'s Dad is a total freak.", "Hey ----, this is my mom and dad.", "Oh, this is my mom and dad.", "Hi, nice to meet you, I'll forget your name within minutes, but let's pretend we're interested to humor our kids."
