Guinier, who was the black woman to receive tenure in the history of Harvard Law School, said it is crucial for all opposing views to be included in society if true social justice is to occur. Present social structures, by emphasizing the majority and excluding "outsiders," fail to "build a multi-racial society," she said...
...Wisconsin, where Russell D. Feingold held his seat against challenger Mark Neumann. Feingold waged a war of principle in his campaign by refusing to exceed a spending cap of $3.8 million and to honor the soft-money ban of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill, which continues to fail in the Congress.

A few tunes, like the smooth Unsent, are readily agreeable. But too many, like faulty modem hookups, crackle and wail and fail to connect emotionally. Despite such flaws, it's impressive that Morissette and her talented co-producer/co-writer, Glen Ballard, had the courage to release a CD as rambunctious as this one. The follow-up to this follow-up could really be something...
