Compare a few of the techniques. Moore argues that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were designed only to enrich the Bush family with oil money. For Moore, Sept. 11 wasn't the cause of the war on terrorism. It was a pretext for corruption. He cannot prove this, and so he tries to bludgeon the viewer emotionally to that conclusion. He uses innuendo, sly editing, parody, ridicule and somber voice-overs to give his mere assertions a patina of truth...
...lack of academic devotion to contemporary music and the arts as foolishly traditional and stifling to progress in creative fields. This just goes to show that encouraging students to realize their passions and interests via their post-college life can take many forms. Whether the College decides to enrich existing concentrations with courses more contemporary in focus, vigorously bring in a broader and more diverse set of companies to recruit on campus or improve the often criticized advising system with the goal of improving academic choices and post-college paths, administrators must do something to improve the current occupational landscape...
...Iraq was insightful and timely [April 19]. A majority of Americans initially backed the war, and it is appalling to watch that support vanish as people are asked to do more than place flags on their SUVs. Keeping the gas tax at its current level only serves to enrich OPEC nations at the expense of the U.S. The heads of Ford and General Motors have already voiced support for an increased gasoline tax. It's time for the rest of America to join them. NEAL GORDON Los Altos, Calif...
Rather than replacing Mexican culture with U.S. culture, Mexican Americans are integrating the two, creating a biculture that celebrates both Cinco de Mayo and the Fourth of July. It's the best of several worlds, all in one place. Mexican Americans can enrich us, just as the Italians, Irish, Germans, Danes and others have. That multiethnicity is what makes America great. I suggest that Professor Huntington search elsewhere for elements that corrode U.S. culture. He might start with Jerry Springer and some TV shows that ridicule our core values.

More international students would add excitement to Harvard’s often quiet social life—for example, replacing beirut with Spanish botelon. They would also enrich section discussions, providing perspectives from outside the area between Boston and Los Angeles. Finally, they might even bring worldly tastes to the Square’s restaurants, perhaps forcing Tommy’s to improve its vile pizza and encouraging the Science Center Greenhouse to serve real sushi...
