Feminism has made enough real gains that organizing women to struggle together as a special interest group is often counterproductive, as it encourages the development of a victimized group mentality, rather than encouraging women to develop as individual people. While ostensibly trying to break down gender barriers, women’s advocacy groups often end up making gender an issue where it otherwise wouldn?...
Unfortunately, the constantly reiterated relationship between Hayes (Evan Parke) the gruff, but heartfelt first mate and Jimmy (Jamie Bell, the “Billy Elliot” kid) is so bad as to verge on self-parody. Although it allows Jackson to develop the “Heart of Darkness” theme—Jimmy inexplicitly stole a copy from the New York Public Library—it loses the rhythm of the rest of the action.

...move into Allston will probably be the most significant development for Harvard in the 21st century. The University’s crossing of the Charles and southward expansion promise to produce valuable opportunities for scientific research, graduate education, and arts and culture.

Over the last 30 years Australia has begun to develop a vibrant multicultural society, diversifying politics and culture while paving the way for integration into Asia. As Australia increasingly globalizes it must shed the ignorant roots of intolerance and embrace the multiplicity of nationalities already within its borders. If the North Cronulla riots are not incentive enough for change, then Australia risks a future plagued by disunity and disgruntled reaction to the faux...
