BALTIMORE – The Flaming Lips are known for over-the-top live shows with outrageous spectacles. So, before their set at the Virgin Festival at the Pimlico Race course in Maryland, I had understandably high expectations. What I didn’t expect was transvestites, fire-breathers, aliens, Santa Clauses and a monkey-man in a sequined leotard. As I walked into […]
Many law-school hopefuls in Washington are leaving the District Saturday to take the Law School Admission Test because all test centers in D.C. were filled nearly three months before the registration deadline.

I have a great idea for a film. It would be called “School for People Who Can’t Execute a Coherent Script Good, and Who Want to Learn to Act Good Too.” It would star the cast and crew of “School for Scoundrels,” and would document them trying to learn to make a decent movie, following […]
Golf The GW golf team won the Rehoboth Beach Invitational in Rehoboth Beach, Del., Sept. 25. It was GW’s third victory in six years at the tournament. La Salle’s John Lorenzo took medalist honors with a 3-under par 139 (68-71). Freshman Tyler Wendelken carded a 70 and 72 to finish second. Classmate Michael Perimutter (71-72) […]
Residence halls at GW have changed dramatically over the last half-century. Today, most students live in one of many co-ed dorms with as many as six roommates, high-tech electronics and strict security. Fifty years ago, the story was very different. From the “Superdorm” to Potomac House When Daniel Kane, a law and public policy professor, […]
Normally, all you can buy in Kogan Plaza are cheap earrings and Bob Marley posters. But from Monday to Wednesday, a whole store appeared – complete with music, wood floors, Oriental rugs and fake vintage posters. Has GW turned into a mall? Not quite yet.
