...reality, and their largest promoters are not campus publications like The Salient, but Muslim leaders committing and condoning barbarous acts in the name of Islam. Critics in print and on e-mail lists have claimed that The Salient represents a broad trend to demonize Islam in American society. I beg to differ. As the reaction to our parody amply demonstrates, any assertion that women in the Islamic world do enjoy fewer rights than their Western counterparts is met with instantaneous, shrill outrage. There is no debate, no consideration of reality.Instead of taking out their ill-reasoned rage on The Salient...
...beg to differ. While it is no Oscar-winner, his committed-soldier routine is very believable, and at times very menacing. This is much more than one can say for any of the other marines, who, for the most part, thankfully get killed off one by one. The movie also makes a ridiculous attempt at a reunion subplot between John and his estranged scientist sister Samantha (played by Rosamund Pike, of secondary Bond girl fame in “Die Another Day” and soon to be Jane Bennett of “Pride & Prejudice?...
...real story lies with the fact that HSA is practically a monopoly on campus and will do anything to protect that position. Why do you think they would be coming after DormAid so strongly?

...José remains a mystery. Greenwald carried himself with a stiffness that impeded his ability to bring passion to the libretto. Lyrics like “You only had to appear / Only to toss a glance towards me / In order to take hold of all my being” beg for fervor; Greenwald’s delivery was disappointingly lukewarm. Lacking romanticism, Greenwald’s Don José still might have made for a plausible target of Carmen’s attraction, if he had a raw machismo about him. This was not the case. The acting at cross...
...because we didn't want to acknowledge the possibility that a catastrophe of biblical proportions was about to change our lives forever. Mistakes were made?too many of them fatal and irreversible?on all levels. Although there must be a thorough accounting of what went wrong and why, I beg the media to focus on the kindness and strength of the human spirit that we are seeing now. Just as with 9/11 and the Indian Ocean tsunami, good can come out of disaster. We have some tough choices ahead. I pray that we make the right ones. Jane LaBreche Hebert...
