...plight of workers or simply taken in by "catchy phrases" about student choice. While the amount of editorial space used to advocate the same position on the same issue is the prerogative of The Crimson staff, I became disturbed when the bias seemed to spill over into the actual coverage of the debate, a phenomenon that culminated in the naively uncritical interview of the former grape worker who was chosen by the United Farm Workers (UFW) to be questioned, and whose answers were given through a UFW "interpreter", who happened to be the union's vice president...
Lacking answers, the summit wound down with a panel of actual children--a cute if predictable stunt. Onstage with their parents and teachers before a ballroom full of strange, faceless adults, the kids readily assured us that they do all they can to avoid naughty material on the Net. They were perhaps a bit more credible when talking about the genuine fun you can have online--a notion that may have escaped many of their listeners.

The decision was appealed all the way to the Supreme Court...
Bigness was, of course, an attraction of the actual ship. In the film, the ship company's boss says, "I wanted to convey sheer size." Cameron could be his spiritual heir. The man who made The Terminator for $6 million has become the high priest of Hollywood bloat. He is also the movies' mad toymaster: he keeps falling in love with an imposing machine (a cyborg, an alien, a submarine, a Harrier jet, an ocean liner) that he then spends great amounts of time and energy destroying...
