...worth debating whether Shaddix's scars are real. The point is he believes he has them. On Black Clouds he screams, "Confession of depression/This life I'm second-guessing/Like ashes to ashes/I always seem to fall down." On She Loves Me Not he decides that "I'm the jerk." Subtlety is not his forte, and numbness takes over after a few lovehatetragedy tracks. It's a shame, because Shaddix has the manic energy and caterwauling voice of a lightweight metal champ, and Papa Roach is a very tight band. The music rises and crunches in that relentless...

CASV reacted to the Faculty’s vote with a typical knee-jerk response: their outraged members fumed to reporters from The Crimson, decrying the lack of sensitivity Harvard administrators have for sexual assault; they organized a rally and found several faculty members out of hundreds to lend legitimacy to their cause...
...staff’s knee-jerk condemnation of Attorney General Ashcroft is completely misguided; he is hardly imposing his “personal” views on the rest of us. Throughout America’s history, it has been implicitly understood that the Second Amendment protects the guns rights of individuals. Last week’s Justice Department announcement merely supported a fundamental freedom that many jurists had accepted until some concerns arose over the precise language of firearm rights in the early twentieth century...
