...rules as they are and concedes to playing by them. This mentality betrays the potential of the cultural position of black music today. We live in an unprecedented time, in which black artists frequently receive more airplay than white artists and in which the barriers to success are fewer than they’ve ever been. While this rise to the top has been incredibly empowering for black artists, it has not created a dialogue between mainstream hip-hop artists and everyone else.Imagine the places black artists in America could take us if the exploration of other cultures were encouraged...
...were leaked to the press and the group went underground. Six months later, the barracks of the international peacekeepers stationed in Beirut were bombed, killing over two hundred U.S. Marines.The filmmakers are careful not to privilege any single viewpoint, or even to entertain the notion that there are fewer than two or three sides in the secrecy “debate.” The composition of the film is as thoughtfully considered as its visual qualities. Images of white paper fading into darkness and VES professor Ruth Lingford’s ghostly animations are intercut with interviews and newsreel...
...film about the murder of a police officer, The Thin Blue Line, got a man out of prison. Most movies' legacies are trickier to measure, however.

Fewer than 0.1% of those who saw the film said they became Christians as a result, according to a Barna Group poll, but 18% of the audience said some aspect of their religious behavior changed--mostly praying and attending church more...
...Maria Larsson in epee, sophomores Arielle Pensler and Anna Podolsky in foil, and freshman Allie Sneider and senior Alexa Weingarden qualifying in sabre. Columbia, St. John, Notre Dame, and Ohio State all qualified the maximum 12 fencers, with reigning national champions Penn State falling one behind at 11. With fewer fencers than five other squads heading into the competition, it will be incredibly difficult for Harvard to regain its championship glory of 2005. In last year’s competition the Crimson finished sixth, with four women and three men notching All-America honors, including then-senior Tim Hagamen...
