...Board members did not like my inane but harmless column when it was brought to their attention, I was punished and forced to stop writing freely. I have not yet finished my Core Requirement, but I vaguely remember hearing somewhere about "freedom of the press." The administration's actions smack of nothing less than censorship. The administration should not meddle with legal, non-academic-related conflicts, should not be able to censor what is printed on campus and should lighten up. Yes, the "Prank Files" is a sophomoric, no-brainer column that pokes fun at institutions supported by the administration...
...Burns as executive producer--is both more restrained and more resonant: a sweeping, thoughtful, often moving look at America's conquest of the West, from the early European explorers to the dawn of the 20th century. PBS is airing the series on eight nights over the next two weeks, smack in the middle of the networks' well-hyped fall premieres. (Little, Brown has also published a handsome companion book.)

...Smack dab in the middle of downtown Seattle the early stages of construction on the city's new opera house make the entire block across from the Post Office between Second and Third Streets look like a war zone. Where the sidewalks were, plywood planks support the braver pedestrians and piles of dirt and rubble spill out into the edges of the street. Seattle's fleet of mountain biking bicycle couriers have a heyday of dodging the construction runoff, but for most downtown traffic, the construction makes getting around that block an arduous task...
