...disappointed that your story did not mention what everyone should know about Chávez: there is legitimate opposition to his rule in Venezuela, but his method for dealing with it has been to replace the legislature and decree that all law come from a special council he appointed. The judicial branch of the Venezuelan government was packed with Chávez loyalists, and the constitution was rewritten. He might have come to power by the ballot box, but he has remained in power using different tools. In short, Chávez is actually the kind of President that many...
...this talk about throwdowns and we didn’t even mention the most wild assault of the weekend—Columbia head coach Norries Wilson’s verbal tirade following his team’s shutout loss at Penn. The Man made the big guy apologize (free speech is out, don’tcha know?), but he must have lit a fire under this Lions team, whose defense is hands down the best unit on the field...
...reconstruction in favor of dreamily imaginative detail. Though ostensibly starring Jason Schwartzman in a delightfully dead-pan turn as the blundering Louis XVI, and the luminous, ethereal, and well cast Kirsten Dunst (reuniting with the director after their collaboration on “The Virgin Suicides”), special mention must be given to the film’s unbilled supporting standouts: Versailles itself and a $40 million production budget chiefly represented by mountains of pastries, millions of powdered wigs, miles of elaborately embroidered silk, and of course enough painted, prancing ponies to mobilize a small republic?...
While terrifying, the prospect of North Korean nuclear arms is moderately less frightening to me than the almost total on-campus silence regarding the hermit kingdom. Over the past week and a half, I, a supremely observant and talkative individual, have heard North Korea’s nukes mentioned in conversation precisely once. This single mention was a minute part of a far larger, and less serious, dinner time conversation whose main topic, I believe, was the various manifestations of awkwardness on campus. And while I can’t truthfully say that I read every single...
...That's the other thing that I'd mention, too, and separate and apart from that, and not really in response to your question. I'm struck by the fact, as well, to come back to this notion that what's being attempted here is to break our will. Friedman has got an interesting piece today on it, if you saw Tom Friedman this morning talking about the extent to which the enemy in this stage in Iraq aim very much at the American people, and public opinion in the United States very sensitive to how to use the media...
