...story, but the missing character is the author himself. Fusing text, traditional comic pages, gag strips, and photos, the book's form reflects its fractured content as it swings from detective pastiche to domestic anecdotes to meditations on the role of art. Through it all, Campbell maintains a sharp eye, strong wit and stimulating intelligence. Though not entirely coherent, Campbell's big thinking and sense of humor make The Fate of the Artist well worth enduring the brief moments of head scratching...
...attached 19 amendments to the bill, all targeting spending provisions he thinks are pork. Most famous for his attacks last year on the so-called "Bridge to Nowhere" - which would have spent more than $200 million to connect two virtually uninhabited areas in Alaska - Coburn now has his eye on a bunch of projects inserted in this bill by two of the most experienced and powerful men on Capitol Hill, Mississippi Republican Senators Thad Cochran and Trent Lott.

...adaptation by Jeremy R. Funke ’04, solved this dilemma by refusing to play it straight, undercutting many of the most dramatic lines with sarcasm or drunkenness (or a combination of the two).

Dressed in modern clothes, Richard and his court (including his wife, played by Julia...
...calls these things superiority. When the publication of “Opal Mehta” first became known, the $500,000 advance dominated conversation and stimulated admiration and jealousy. The fact that the novel is unabashed chick lit inspired, at most, smiling pseudo-mockery. Harvard turned an indulging blind eye on bad literature and saw only an example of precocious success. Now, we are not so much horrified by the accusations of mortal literary sin as we are conscious of the public scandal and potential reversal of fortune. Contemplating this reaction, it is clear that we share, at least...
...woman spills coffee while juggling a cup of fruit. Park District workers tidy the large park, and police officers, mostly chatting among themselves, keep a careful eye on a crowd that is quickly swelling. The people here - mostly Hispanic, but whites and blacks as well - wear serious faces, but there is a sense that this is as much an event as a rally, as busloads of kids, large trucks and ordinary drivers whip by honking approval for a gathering that police expect to grow to some 300,000 in Chicago alone. Newspapers carrying the headline "Today We March, Tomorrow...
