Charter Street’s dirty little secret

The university-owned Charter Street power plant—known for its single brick smokestack and mountains of coal—has not drawn widespread criticism since a baghouse was installed in 1988 to reduce the once visible cloud of black soot. However, an impending lawsuit by the Sierra Club has brought the plant into the public eye once again.

‘Shooter’ off the mark

Over the years, especially the most recent ones, violence in action movies has become a lot more brutal and a lot less fun. Thanks to this decade's two most influential action-oriented narratives—the TV blockbuster ""24,"" which features Jack Bauer torturing the shit out of nefarious people for the greater good, and ""The Bourne Identity,"" which revels in nasty bouts of hand-to-hand combat—the line between ""hard R"" action and formerly neutered PG-13 action blurs more every day.

Get stuck in the ’80s

I want to live in an '80s teen movie. When I was little, I always figured that, at some point during high school, I'd sew my own prom dress. That didn't happen. Instead, I just wore store-bought ones, and I felt cheated. Slammed. Hurt by the fact that I couldn't be as pretty in pink as Molly Ringwald. Plus, there was no James Spader.
