...them, their lifestyle, their problems, their joys and their lives.” A few weeks ago, several Indian friends and I headed to MIT for a viewing of Where’s the Party, Yaar?, the latest in a slew of films attempting to do just that. They paint stereotypic portraits of the Indian-American family: the overbearing, chauvinistic father, the sari-clad mother who urges her children to eat more chapattis and focus on their studies, and the son who just wishes his parents would get with the program. The titles of these films — American...
While few have taken up the call thus far, there are shining examples to the indifferent masses. One fan removed his shirt and coated himself in Crimson body paint for the duration of the men’s hockey team’s run in the ECAC tournament, positioning himself right up against the boards in the front row of the student section. A large posse of Jason Norman fans generates a surge of energy following each of his rim-rattling slam dunks that puts the rest of the crowd to shame...
Stylish women can now spray on instead of pull on. The Air Stocking, released by Nissin Medico in Japan last year and now available in the U.S., is applied like spray paint and makes legs appear to be covered by hosiery.

Air Stocking costs around $28 a can (yielding 20 to 25 applications), comes in three colors and washes off with soap and warm water. --By Tamika Edwards

But the flaws in the political Atkins diet are already manifest in the television ads aired by liberal advocacy groups like MoveOn.org and the Media Fund. They paint America in shades of black and blacker. Jobs are leaving, the economy is in the tank, health care is evaporating, and Social Security and Medicare are threatened by Snidely Whiplash Republicans. The Media Fund launched a morally atrocious ad last week questioning the additional $87 billion that Bush is spending...
...General Kimmitt, however, insists the U.S. has no knowledge or part of any such deals, and that its policy remains that Moqtada must either be captured or killed. But like in Fallujah, this hard line on the Sadrists adopted against the advice of its allies in the IGC may paint the U.S. into a tactical corner. It will be hard-pushed, for example, to ease the siege of Fallujah while leaving the insurgent structure there intact, or to back off its vow to "destroy" Sadr's militia. And yet in both cases sticking to those goals are alienating growing sections...
