Resident Undergraduate Council (UC) rabble-rouser Jason L. Lurie ’05 must be pleased. The silly debate he started in 2003 about whether Christian groups can receive funding if they require their officers to be Christian continues. And the discourse on whether a group with foundational principles of advancing Christianity can actually require its leaders to be Christian drags on. Why are we still talking about this? The devil is in the details...
...early stable of artists included Canadians Chester Brown and the one-named Seth, who have since become two of North America's top cartoonist talents. Last year Brown scored a surprise hit with his biography of Canadian mystical rabble-rouser Louis Riel (see below). D&Q hopes for similar success with Seth's just-released Clyde Fans Book One. The first of a planned two-part series, Clyde Fans tells the wistful history of two brothers and their family electrical-fan business. Seth, n? Gregory Gallant, 41, got the idea for the book from an old storefront office...
...dominant voice among the Shi'ites - and has skillfully ridden the wave of anti-American anger triggered by U.S. efforts against him to his own advantage. Indeed, the fact that Sistani held a meeting with Moqtada, whom he would previously have dismissed as an upstart rabble-rouser, to help bring peace to Najaf is a sign that the young imam's stature has grown as a result of his battle with the Americans.

Several of the works have appeared elsewhere, such as the excerpt of Chester Brown's "Louis Riel," the 2003 biography of a 19th century rabble rouser, or the snippet of Charles Burns' inky teenage horror comedy "Black Hole." Other superstars have brand new work. Robert Crumb, the underground pooh-bah, provides one of his patented war-of-the-sexes pieces, "The Unbearable Tediousness of Being," where a dull nebbish attempts to woo a distracted, hard-nippled Amazon-like woman. Further on appears the wordless examination...
...Iraqis who join its police forces or its Governing Council. The indigenous insurgent challenge has grown and multiplied: U.S. troops now fight on two fronts, facing both Sunni insurgents whose number include both former Baathist officers, nationalists and Islamists, as well as Shiite fighters loyal to the militant rabble rouser Moqtada Sadr - and, of course, a foreign terrorist element whose frequent high-profile suicide attacks, such as Monday's killing of the head of the Governing Council, Izzedine Saleem, sow chaos and keep the occupation authority on the defensive. The prevailing paradox is that while the Coalition's forces...
