Just as Simpson's speech was given prominence, so have other conservatives who have appeared at Forum events. When Ralph Reed spoke on Oct. 30, he could not have received a warmer introduction from Mark Merritt, a former Republican National Committee chieftain who runs an Institute of Politics (IOP) study group this semester. This demagogue Reed, whose unctuous invective against "moral decay" was the embodiment of religious hypocrisy, whose appropriation of the Kennedys' rhetoric served only to undermine their name and that of the school, was welcomed by the K-School establishment in order to promote (over C-SPAN...
...interviewed at Aberdeen and Fort Leonard Wood wonder if the attraction between a recruit and a drill sergeant sometimes flows both ways--if, that is, some of the young women are to blame--but Army officials, at least publicly, reject this argument. "Who's the vulnerable party?" asks Major Ralph Palmiero, executive officer of the 2nd Battalion 47th Infantry Division at Fort Leonard Wood.

"Anytime I brought home another game, she just wasn't interested," Howell says. He finally quit shopping...
...English, this Count Laszlo de Almasy (Ralph Fiennes), nor is he at all patient. But those are the words on his medical papers when, scorched and disfigured, he comes under the care of a Canadian nurse named Hana (Juliette Binoche) in Italy at the end of World War II. To the wounded, Hana is a guardian angel, listening like a doting mother to their plaints, caressing them like the chaste lovers they left back home. Setting Almasy up in a ruined monastery, she swathes his parchment skin and reads to him from his precious volume of Herodotus, while Caravaggio (Willem...
