...disappointment; the band is still a half step away from being as huge as its promise. It takes some doing to make an album darker than Funeral, but Win Butler, the band's leader--he's the singer too, but all members of Arcade Fire sing or scream whenever they want to--spends a lot of time cataloging his gloom. "Every spark of friendship and love/ Will die without a home," he yelps on Intervention, one of the happier tunes. Plenty of candidates for rock's next big voice mistook darkness for depth early on (listened to any '70s Springsteen...
Beer, pizza, and hamantashen don’t usually scream “ragefest.” But this killer combo of snacks and booze attracted plenty of students to Hillel Saturday night to celebrate Purimpalooza, Hillel’s contemporary take on a traditional Jewish holiday.

...future, other universities will follow MIT’s lead and attempt to preserve their unique and timeless traditions in the face of litigation or bad publicity—with one notable exception. I would rejoice if the police started distributing citations for public lewdness on Primal Scream night. The few times that I have had the misfortune of witnessing Harvard students expose their nether regions to the frigid elements and unabashedly tromp around the Yard like a herd of gazelles, I suffered from nightmares for months...
...political debates. "We don't want a zealot in there," she says. "We want someone who's going in there with a heart and compassion who'll talk reasonably and present the options." And, she adds, she would never, ever show graphic pictures or movies like The Silent Scream, the landmark 1984 video that presents an abortion being performed in which the fetus is portrayed as crying in pain. The women who come through her door, Wood says, "are traumatized enough already. Why would we do that? We're trying to be caretakers. I know how I'd respond...
