...Killed Vincent Chin?,” created by Renee E. Tajima ’80 and Christine Choy, follows the story of Chin’s killing and his mother’s five-year quest for justice. Chin was bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat two days before his wedding at a strip club by Ronald Ebens and his stepson Michael Nitz in what was widely believed to be a racially motivated killing...

Benito Mussolini seemed like a worthy member of the first Axis of Evil, until the country got a close look at him in the newsreels, comically soaking up the ovation of his people with his fists on his hips and his chin thrust out and that odd little party hat perched on his head.

His seemingly unwashed, stringy, chin-length, dirty brown hair is either tucked innocently behind one ear or wisping across his rugged, bearded chin. Dusty is sensitive. He probably plays the banjo and knows how to speak Cherokee. He’s the kind of wilderness man who will throw an old quilt his grandmother stuffed...
