...today's students of Black/white heritage (or Hispanic/Black heritage, Asian/Black heritage, Asian/white heritage, Jewish/gentile heritage, Jewish/Black heritage, etc.) aren't experiencing anything new. Today's cohort of biracial students of Black/white heritage in particular have, I suggest, an obligation to conduct their quest for a viable personhood in a manner that serves not just the career-advancing facet of this personhood. Rather, they should conduct their quest for a viable personhood in a manner that also challenges and seeks to uproot those still surviving white supremacist patterns that pariahize the life-chances of Black folks and Hispanic folks in American...
...script polish by Quentin Tarantino), Crimson Tide is an old-fashioned mutiny movie -- on the U.S.S. Alabama instead of the Bounty or the Caine. Actually, this is a three-mutiny movie: commanders change faster than Italian Prime Ministers. This king-of-the-hill game gives Hackman, Washington and their cohort the chance to run around the submarine with guns and scowls. The milling is underscored with a heavy bass line that will leave moviegoers' bottoms tingling; and it is shot with lots of close-ups of manly jawlines, as if every sailor were posing to be sculpted like...
...suspect," Pentagon spokesman Dennis Boxx said last Thursday. But some 25 members of the Army's Criminal Investigative Command were assisting the fbi in the search for McVeigh's accomplices. McVeigh spent his military career in a single 110-man unit-what the military once called a "cohort unit."

"We're not saying this contributed to his problems," one Army official...
...double whammy as a result of the baby boom. Beginning around 2012, and extending over more than a generation, the boomers will be retiring by the millions each year. As they leave the work force, they will be replaced by the much less numerous members of the baby-bust cohort, born between 1965 and 1975. By year 2030, there will be only two workers to support each pensioner-and at current rates of tax and benefits, it can't be done...
Rodolfo's painter cohort Marcello, played by Michael Drumheller, lacks personality and expressivity. It is small wonder that the saucy Musetta, played by Penny Rubinfield, proves too much for him in the third act. Rubinfield is a fiesty flirt who uses the low dramatic energy around her to her advantage; she draws every eye to her, both on stage and off, with admirable seconda donna tactics. The conviction and simplicity of Josh Benaim's cameo "coat aria" in the fourth act place the aria closer to Puccini's original intentions than many a bass who overplay the fact that they...
