...sixth year on the job. Lewis, who is also McKay professor of computer science, has proven that he is not afraid to make unpopular decisions--like continuing the tradition of randomization and tightening alcohol policies--but this boldness, coupled with a penchant for sticking his foot in his mouth, have not won the dean many friends among students...
...death penalty today than the last low ebb in 1981, 66 percent still approve - a figure that should inspire a certain amount of confidence in the Bush camp. The other ray of sunshine for the Bush camp?

There's nothing "bad" about John Shaft in John Singleton's nephew-of remake of Gordon Parks's 1971 breakthrough movie that defined the blaxploitation genre. Gone is the hard-living, hard-loving vigilante avenger banging on Hollywood's door with the butt of a .45 and challenging its whitewashing of American reality. In his stead we have his focus-group tested nephew, designed to appeal to a much wider audience but stripped, in the process, of his ability to thrill...
