What should you expect of an artist who lists among his achievements a featured spot in a Tommy Hilfiger commercial--a sound that's reasonably pleasant but presented in so belabored a format as to be painful? That's Michael Fredo in short--a "talent" to whom that word should be applied cautiously...
...limply shake Maria's hand. Unoffending, uninjured, undemanding, the actors lift him by hiccups into heaven on the cross. Jesus, son of God, gladly gives his life to purge us of our sins. We can all sing to this tune. We can all be uplifted. We can all expect the resurrection to take place before a short reception in the lobby. Christ the man killed, we celebrate Christ the lamb, nipping at his heels, holding him in place. For 2,000 years he has been a dead man, pure as a corpse, loving as a sheepdog...
...recruiting. Local non-profits, magazines, school districts and Congress have few built-in mechanisms or resources to come here and woo us. OCS does attempt to present a variety of other options (or at least, direct us to the ubiquitous "binders in the downstairs reading room"). We should expect more of OCS, though. Compared to the convenience of the recruiting process, finding information about other fields is a much more arduous a task. Students who pursue other fields must be largely selfguided...

...social issues (and an internationalism on trade issues) that a Buchanan candidacy would instantly erase. Buchanan's followers are rabidly pro-life and anti-foreigner and not disinclined to scan the skies for black helicopters and other imaginary craft. They also turn out at the polls ? Buchanan could expect to clear the 5 percent hurdle the party needs to hang on to its matching funds in 2004. But, and it's a big but, they have the effect of scaring everybody else away. The Reform party?s best long-term hopes, surely, are with a higher-rent crowd than that...
