Although the attack was physically directed at a single member of our community, it was a symbolic attack on all BGLT students on campus.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity and the 50th anniversary of his death. Both events are being commemorated by a bid to spark fresh interest in the Nobel-prizewinning physicist, who was named Time magazine's Person of the Century in December 1999.

Many want a fresh look at the nuclear option, arguing that it is one of the cleanest ways to produce power. Microgeneration fans disagree. Jeremy Leggett, ceo of Solarcentury, Britain's leading solar photovoltaics company, thinks nuclear power is risky and that a combination of dwindling oil reserves and global warming will eventually propel...
...It takes guts to write more poems about peace, war, God and children, but Revell's are so fresh, it's as if he's the first person ever to do it. He makes you feel how painfully near grace and redemption are at all times, and yet how unattainable. "If you know the taste of your own heart and like it," he writes, "Come into the woods to the red house/ Whose windows explode from the walls and wash/ Me clean...
