Dominguez and Wu would like to improvecommunication between the government and thestudents through polls, referenda, and town-hallmeetings. Dominguez says the council needs tofoster an arena for student discussion of politicsin a format similar to that of the IOP. Accordingto him, the council should sponsor public forumsand invite keynote speakers, visitors from othercampuses, government officials and activists tospeak to students and help them better addresscampus issues...
...select only the gems that every piano lover may already have. More than a quarter of the music in the collection was previously unavailable on CD, and some pieces, such as Clifford Curzon playing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 27, have never before been released commercially in any format. Deacon scoured the archives--and his own collection--for rare and historic performances. He passed over Alexis Weissenberg's famed 1971 recording of Scriabin's Nocturne for the Left Hand, and hunted down the master of Weissenberg's obscure 1950 version of the piece, which, says Deacon, is "perhaps the most...
...blown away by the performance--impressed, but not blown away. The pieces became quite repetitive after a while, probably a result of the genre of music and no fault of Lawrence-King's. At the same time, the music was soothing and enjoyable, and I appreciated the informative format of the concert, namely the fact that the pieces and instruments were discussed a bit.

The typical Sandler comedy (not this year's amiable The Wedding Singer, in which he plays a borderline grownup, but Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore and the new film) is about a nerdy sociopath who learns to channel his rage into an acceptable format: winning a spelling bee, playing golf or tackling football players. "You don't have what they call the social skills," he is told in The Waterboy; that is Sandler's gimmick and, for many, his charm. The plot is a competition for which our hero is utterly unqualified but which...
Though technological advances often come with risks, one safe buy is the DVD player. Less than two years into its existence, 1 million units have been sold. Now the format is entering its third generation, with falling prices and added refinements (a muscular midrange unit like the new Toshiba SD-3108, seen here, is $699); 1,700 titles are available, and that number could triple this Christmas season with an infusion of back-catalog classics. Wary of splurging for a collection? In the home-theater market, legitimacy means that Blockbuster--and many local video stores--now have discs to rent...
