...analogy made by senior black Faculty members hurts people of color more than it does the intended target, presumably Summers. The analogy suggests that Summers was rough and tough, yet it also suggests that African-Americans are fragile like china, that we should be handled with care, lest we break apart. Martin Luther King Jr. was not china, nor was Thurgood Marshall, Sojourner Truth and numerous other African-American heroes who faced many “bulls” in their quest for justice and never broke apart. As an African-American public official in western Massachusetts, I often face...
...able to enjoy Sound Go Round. By the second time, you may start to like it. But give it away before you listen a third time, lest the unendingly cheery album deliver a relentless headache...
...exporter of world-class talent, France now outshines Brazil and Argentina, which have traditionally dominated the trade. Football's French Foreign Legion has more than 100 professional players, over 40 of them in the English Premier League alone.

Franta tells his tale in flashbacks: during the war his girlfriend in Czechoslovakia (Linda Rybova) and a lovely Englishwoman (the heartbreaking Tara Fitzgerald) left him--the first because she thought him dead, the second because her husband returned from naval service grievously wounded; his best friend, a pilot (Krystof Hadek) he mentored, died saving Franta's life; even his dog acquired a new mistress...
...that are now a scant 10 months away - and Daschle doesn't lack for ammunition. Congress' first order of business when it returns to work Monday will be to heed Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill's plea and raise the current $5.95 trillion federal debt ceiling to $6.7 trillion, lest the U.S. government default on its paper, Argentina-style. And Friday morning Bush's own Labor Department gave Daschle a nice hook to work into his speech when it announces the unemployment numbers for December. (Up again, slightly, to 5.8 percent...
