This deeply felt, deeply personal affiliation is, I think, a common brand of college politics on both ends of the spectrum--and it certainly has its appeal. There's something very satisfying about meeting another dyed-in-the-wool liberal and realizing that we speak the same language. We roll our eyes at the same time, we get worked up about the same kinds of injustices, we recognize that we're playing for the same team. In fact, this experience is so gratifying that it's tempting to just stick to our liberal selves and to stop dealing with...
...biographer obtains his or her information of the subject often determines what sort of biography will emerge and who will want to read it. A fortunate biographer will have the cooperation of his or her subject, access to all relevant primary documentation and numerous secondary sources. Certain kinds of biographies can be written using only one of these three sources.

Although some of their accusations are not unfounded and are made apparent in The Cornel West Reader, their underlying claim that West has no substance as an intellectual falls flat when faced with the overall figure...
Also Thursday, the New England Journal of Medicine reported that the procedures aren't nearly as useful as previously thought in preventing certain forms of birth injury. The study cited in the Journal focused on the C-section's ability to prevent brain hemorrhaging during birth, sometimes caused when a baby is stuck in the mother's pelvis. While caesareans, which peaked at nearly 25 percent of births in the late '80s, were long held to be the best method for preventing such complications, the new research indicates that the procedure is no safer than nonsurgical alternatives, including...
