...Bush kept control behind closed doors, the press conference afterward was pure McCain: unpredictable and laced with edgy humor. Though McCain endorsed Bush, the smiles were forced, and McCain's jokes occasionally misfired. Was he being serious when he agreed with a reporter that the meeting was like taking medicine? The Senator insists that he was joking, and Bush is said to believe him. The worst moment was Bush's. At an event designed to show mutual admiration, the G.O.P. nominee ducked a question about the Rev. Pat Robertson, who recently warned that McCain would be a "very dangerous" Vice...
...takes its name and epigraph from Dante, is Rwanda, Zaire, Chechnya and Kosovo. It is gruesome stuff, some of the most grisly and horrifying photography I have ever seen, and certainly not right for you if your tastes fall on the squeamish side of Diane Arbus.

...Granted, organized religion does have several flaws that turn off a significant amount of the population, especially those who consider themselves "well-educated." But attacking people who have a higher purpose in life and are willing to serve others in the name of that cause is not only pure selfishness but also a real form of bigotry. So while the message of Jesus Week was a bit too strong for me, I sincerely admire the organizers for their decision to stand up and be counted. After all, college shouldn't just be about academic exploration, should...
