...eyes to you.... Yes folks, Republican efforts to warn Americans of the danger of fuzzy liberals in charge of the nation's political system -- and its nuclear secrets -- are about to go into overdrive. On Tuesday, Representative Christopher Cox plans to release the report of his congressional inquiry, containing "grave" revelations of Chinese nuclear espionage that "continues to this very day." The Cox committee's star witness, former Energy Department intelligence chief Notra Trulock, on Sunday warned that this was the biggest thing since the Rosenbergs. And if the new "Who lost China?" campaign is to have its own Alger...
...Hillel Drama. In a daring move, director Josh Edelman '00 and producer Ari VanderWalde '00 set out to confront this "blatantly anti-semitic show" and strip it of all pretensions of heroism or resolution. Their production revolves around Shylock, played by Tim Foley '98. He is a tall, grave man whose dignity is slowly eroded by a festering hatred of the Christians who persecute his nation.

Repeatedly...
Also distasteful was the juxtaposition of the Holocaust memorial readings and Earth Day's endangered species readings. True, both were intended to be grave reminders of innocent victims. But when the names of various types of winged mammals were read with the same earnestness as the names of Holocaust victims, it did a disservice to both causes. The extinction of animals is, of course, a horrible occurrence in itself but its gravity is simply not comparable to the organized malicious slaughter of a particular ethnic group. All efforts should be made to avoid evoking that comparison in people's minds...
