...time, as most current undergrads began to navigate high school, “Closing Time” and a follow-up single or two made Slichter’s band positively ubiquitous, in a faceless kind of way. You’d never recognize them on the street, but it was their tune whistling in the background of countless malls and dances. Just as quickly, of course, the fickle charts dropped Semisonic, and critical acclaim could do little to keep the trio in the spotlight...

...friend recently said to me. This off-handed and not entirely serious comment highlighted a very real cultural phenomenon at Harvard: the monolithic way in which students in the liberal tree house often view conservatives. That is, all too frequently Harvard students forget that conservatives are actually people, not faceless supporters of the “vast right wing conspiracy,” nefarious Fox News contributors or simply bigots...

...least as the commentators define it, it is in the tone, in the constantly repeated conviction that to give to us (the aggrieved voters), one must take from them (the faceless, selfish plutocrats). To varying degrees, Kerry, Edwards, Rep. Richard A.

The government has blamed unknown "bandits" or criminal gangs for the mayhem, which has included more than 50 cop killings, a spate of arson attacks on state schools, numerous bombings, and assaults on military and police posts. But no one in the government is talking about faceless crooks now. The military precision of last week's attack on the army base, which coincided with the burning of 21 schoolhouses in the district, and was followed a day later with a bomb blast in Pattani that killed two police officers, has forced the government to reassess the potential...

...40th birthday recently, Chinese pro-democracy activist Yang Jianli languished in a Chinese prison. That same day, his wife, Harvard Medical School researcher Christina Fu, and their two young children, Aaron and Anita, spent over an hour outside the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., trying to persuade a faceless security guard—through locked doors, closed curtains and a small speaker—to accept a hand-drawn birthday card to deliver to him in prison. Their quest ended in vain. For the Yang family, this experience was a sad illustration of the opaque approach that the Chinese authorities...
