This past week, all male undergraduates were treated to a rare delight, and an ego boost. A "recent gradaute" of the College, who wishes to remain anonymous--so let's call him MACK (Mal-Adjusted Cuckoo)--sent over 3,000 letters to "all male undergraduates" by U.S. Post detailing his very personal, very painful story. It turns out that Mack is "attracted to guys," but "repelled by gays, so far without exception...
Rousseau's Dog manages to teach painlessly. Kennedy's delight shows through her writing, as in the punny title of her introductory chapter, "Cherchez Le Chien."

It proved, once more, that you don't need to be plugged in to generate electricity...
...linear, logical thinking, that the flashing images and spatial nature of the cinematic form disrupts Heidegger's text more than they complement it. This brings one of the exhibit's main conflicts to light. We are a society torn between discourses, one written and one visual, and our own delight in the visual is juxtaposed with our own delight in the visual is juxtaposed with our guilt-laden tendency to try to make sense of the written. But this conflict, both examined by Hill's work and evident in it, does not interfere with the pleasing, interesting sensory experience...
