...Unique” (Def Jam/Roc-a-Fella) 2 STARS In an age of hip-hop postures and publicity stunts, Ol’ Dirty Bastard was the real thing. A founding member of the revolutionary hip-hop outfit Wu-Tang Clan, he was the group’s loosest cannon, a wild man whose erratic and self-destructive behavior was reflected in his primitive, off-balance, and completely singular microphone style. He lived the life and died to prove it: when he overdosed in 2004, he left behind a string of convictions, 13 children, and one of the most brilliantly chaotic legacies...
...signatory to that petition, I think none of us expected Harvard to divest from companies doing business in Israel.

But Grand Ayatollah Sistani is strongly opposed to accommodating Kurdish aspirations at the expense of the central state, and if Allawi's showing gives him enough seats in the Assembly, the Kurdish leaders may be more inclined...
...potential for abuse. Students and administrators can treacherously interpret speech-code guidelines to attack others who have simply been insensitive or sophomoric, not threatening or racist. Students, afraid of repercussions, would also be discouraged from speaking their minds on a range of important diversity issues with even the loosest of rules in place. To its credit, the Law School has so far resisted any broadening of the anti-harassment code, recognizing the steep, slippery slope before...
