...Julia M. Spiro ’10 of Pfoho had no idea what she was getting into when she moved in next door to the Belltower Suite. But the nightly loud music and shaking walls quickly clued her in. When she decided to take a night off from the party scene earlier this fall, Spiro, who is also a Crimson magazine editor, found that the party scene wasn’t going to let her off the hook. Comfortably snuggled in her PJs, Spiro was surprised to discover a large, wasted stranger stumbling through her room. After numerous exchanges (name...
...Spiro is not alone in her plight. Another Quadling, Alice M. Ging ’11 hears music blasting from her neighbors’ room until 2 a.m. every night, but says, “It’s not a big deal, just a bit annoying.” Even more annoying for Ging is hearing the firedoor alarm go off whenever a belligerent party-hopper gets lazy and forgets to read...
Ever since Spiro Agnew lambasted the press in 1970 as "nattering nabobs of negativism," Republicans have reveled in attacking the national media for its so-called liberal bias. President George H.W.

Scenes showing Young attempting to recover from the injuries he sustained after being shot just a week after arriving in Iraq are interspersed with footage from the Congressional debates over the war in October 2002. While Young...
...Body of War, directed by docu-doyenne Ellen Spiro and Donahue, intercuts the 2002 war debate with the postwar life of Tomas Young, a soldier who was paralyzed with a shattered spine within a week of arriving in Iraq. Now, after months recuperating at Walter Reed Hospital, Young is back home with his fiancee, annoyed by the mundane aspects of confinement: how, constantly, "my body shows how much it disagrees with me." He's about to be married, and is worried that his leaky bowels will embarrass him during the ceremony. At times, this gentle, articulate guy shows the pressure...
