Maybe he was picking up a drink at some Charles Village watering hole, or walking down the street, or catching a film at the Charles or that other local bastion of quality cinema, the Earle?

Britney cuts the restraint and lets it all out in her new video. She first broke out as an enthusiastic rebel schoolgirl but now, in "I'm a Slave 4 U," she's imprisoned in an Asian bath house with a Blade Runner backdrop and surrounded by obsessed boy-clones. There's something depressing about this whole scene.

As music finally returns to Kabul this week, I remind myself that two Mormons have yet to return my Low CD. Well over a month ago these suited lads with the Church of Latter-day Saints-tags came knocking on my apartment door.

A month has passed since the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Since the attacks, the Johns Hopkins community has continually been forced to respond and adapt to new stimuli caused by the lingering effects of Sept. 11.
