Former Fletcher University Professor Cornel R. West ’74 taught at the Divinity School and FAS, while K. Anthony Appiah held appointments to both the Afro-American studies and philosophy departments. Anne-Marie Slaughter was a professor both at Harvard Law School and in the FAS government department. All three departed for Princeton...
...early buzz but left without any prizes, a beautiful stranger (Nicole Kidman) takes a load of abuse in a Colorado town, then, like an Old Testament God in an I'm-sick-of-Sodom mood, has everyone gunned down. Brazilian director Hector Babenco ended his Carandiru with the slaughter of innocents in a S?o Paulo jail, and Austrian Michael Haneke depicted the moral chaos attending an unexplained disaster in his testy The Time of the Wolf...

McCoy said, "Let's quit pussyfooting and call it what it is. It's murder, it's slaughter, it's clubbing baby harp seals." Some may believe the antiwar protests should have stopped once the fighting started, for fear of demoralizing American troops, but I am more concerned about the morale of those who will spend the rest of their lives dealing with the horrors of war. The suffering on both...
