Palmer disputes the notion that he took advantage of the tribe and says he was the victim of tribal politics: "We did not do one thing wrong. They lost the case at every level, in every jurisdiction. It was just a smear job." As for the 30% his company received for supplying the slots, he says, "We used all that to pay for the slot machines...
Though we fully support the notion of a new home for Harvard’s dancers, space in Allston is not a viable solution to the problem. It is unreasonable to expect that students will walk 40 minutes (or ride a shuttle for 20) each way to attend classes that are on average 60 to 90 minutes in length. In addition, many dancers take multiple classes per day, an impossibility if they are forced to commute such a great distance. While we realize that many Harvard students take shuttles to classes in the Longwood medical area for instance...

His grand notion was always to film the entire trilogy in one gigantic 15-month shoot, and to make of it three separate but seamless movies, each one minutely, imaginatively faithful to Tolkien.

...While America fights a war against international terrorism, it’s reassuring to know that our government consists of intelligent, tolerant individuals unlike so many prejudiced regimes abroad. Senator Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday party last week should have debunked this notion once and for all. That a man who ran for president in 1948 as a “Dixiecrat” pledging to “stand for the segregation of the races and the racial integrity of each race” should still sit in the Senate is a national disgrace. Thurmond is indeed...
