...America, shunning and disassociating itself from its neighbors. The fence translates into a slap in the face to all Latin Americans and is a setback to the rapprochement the U.S. and Mexico have experienced in recent years. This symbolic barrier signifies nothing less than xenophobia and ignorance about the socio-cultural history of the U.S. and its Latin American immigrants. In order to effectively combat undocumented immigration, the U.S. should examine the situation of emigrants within their home countries. America needs to look outside its boundaries and analyze what is forcing people away from their home countries and drawing them...
...editors: I read with interest Samuel Simon’s thoughtful essay on the socio-economic composition of the U.S. military (“Who Really Serves?,” column, Jan. 19), and agree with his conclusion that liberals (or conservatives who are against the war, for that matter, since there are many) need to move beyond a solely class-based analysis both in their rhetoric and politics.

But there is great clarity in his direction, shrewd observation in the screenplay (which he wrote with Robert Moresco and rafts of terrific acting-most notably by Matt Dillon as a racist cop who becomes the reluctant hero...
...less pretentious than some clubs and more diverse than others. In fact, members told me when I expressed my concerns, clubs today were more progressive than ever, which is sort of true: the last couple presidents of the Spee have been minorities, and the punch classes are more socio-economically and racially diverse than they used to be. In the context of the punch process and even of the clubs in general, the idea that the Spee was progressive almost made sense.But if I widened my frame of reference just a little bit to include people outside the circle...
