'You are not going to Harvard'
Best line in Slate's comparison review (one of my favorite Slate things) of discount bus lines: "And, insult to injury, as we pulled off, the driver came over the intercom to inform us, like a disembodied voice from the crushed dreams of an ambitious past, that 'this bus is not stopping at Harvard. You are not going to Harvard if you are on this bus.' "
(Slate this week also introduces me to MTV's Alexa Chung with "The comely Ms. Chung offers the delicate sultriness of Kari Wuhrer and the alert curiosity of Tabitha Soren, the sass of Kennedy and the stems of 'Downtown' Julie Brown." I'm glad for the intro. Am I over Giada?)
