...incident at the Mather dance on February 19 is only part of the issue. Whether a gay student was pushing too hard for another man to dance with him or whether the other men involved were oversensitive and ended up harassing the gay student, the reaction to the incident shows how much underlying tension exists about homosexuality on campus...
...part in the scheme, MacDonald was to receive up to $750,000 in cash payments. By the time the plot was exposed, Brown says, he had given MacDonald $75,000 in cash and use of a $55,000 BMW. Most of MacDonald's fellow Navajos did not share in his good fortune; they continue to live their old, hardscrabble life.

Perhaps the most chilling part of the movie is Harris' virtual confession to the crime. Harris, who is on death row for a 1985 murder, tells Morris that he is sure Adams is innocent "because I'm the one who knows."

Islamic Jihad issued a vow to seek revenge against "all those who take part in strong and ferocious campaigns against Islam." The statement was accompanied by a Polaroid photograph of the three American hostages, Alann Steen, Robert Polhill and Jesse Turner, who were kidnaped from the campus of Beirut University College more than two years ago. But the communique made no new threats against...
