Michael Crichton's 'Micro' is a major success

By Staff Writer | December 7

In 2008, throat cancer robbed the world of one of the most creative minds in literature: one that gave us "Jurassic Park," "The Andromeda Strain" and numerous other science fiction adventures. "Micro" is the last novel from Michael Crichton, the inventor of the techno-thriller, and in it he takes readers on a final thrill ride. While Crichton's untimely death prevented him from finishing the book, author Richard Preston completed it based on Crichton's notes. "Micro" serves as a fitting send-off to a literary legend.

Webster Hall is a fun night out

By Staff Writer | November 30

While going to frat parties on a Thursday night is one way to take the load off of academic stress, night clubs are sometimes a better way to hang out with friends and mingle with new people. Webster Hall in New York City is one of many night clubs located right in the middle of downtown. As a sponsor to radio stations like Z-100, Webster Hall is one of the oldest and most popular night clubs in New York City, offering package deals for birthday, bachelor and bachelorette parties, as well as corporate VIP dinners.

J. Edgar' direction disappoints

By Staff Writer | November 16

We get the picture: Clint Eastwood is a respected actor and director. He's been nominated for six Academy Awards, and won Best Director twice (for "Unforgiven and "Million Dollar Baby"). So perhaps even this Hollywood great has earned the right, at the ripe old age of 81, to make a mistake.
