...film La Haine (Hate), which portrayed banlieue life with brutal realism. For French online media commentator David Abiker, Stress is "a modern work of art in its own right," worthy of the son of legendary filmmaker Costa-Gavras. Stress clearly evokes groundbreaking films such as La Haine, Man Bites Dog, and Clockwork Orange. Yet for the French daily Libération, "it's above all an absence of point of view that remains."

While the American firm that first cloned pets on the open market was shut down in 2006, the practice has hardly suffered or stagnated; in fact, Booger’s status as the first dog cloned for the consumer demonstrates clear sophistication and evidence of enduring demand amongst wealthy pet-owners in mourning...
Further, what does a pet owner call the clone of their original pet? At the very least, one hopes that owners will not make the same mistake twice and call their poor cloned dog Booger, after the original. Emily C. Ingram ’08, a Crimson editorial editor, is a government concentrator in Eliot house...
