...popularity has waned little since its release in 2001. A fair amount of debate surrounds the movie, as the storyline depicted therein reads nebulously at best. Purists may say that film is and can be the only medium appropriate for a proper treatment of the story, but director Marcus Stern of Cambridge’s American Repertory Theatre (A.R.T.) begs to differ—he’s preparing a theatrical adaptation of the film. How then does one take on the daunting task of retelling such a sacred cow as “Donnie Darko?” SCREEN...

Arrested and charged with "grave injuries to the monarchy," the two may receive 15-year prison sentences if found guilty...

But only those who have an underdeveloped sense of irony can truly believe this a cause to celebrate. “Academic freedom” may claim agnosticism as to the value of differing opinions, insisting only that each should be heard and considered. Academic freedom, however, itself implies a value: that inquiry should be free and opposing views respected. What a farce to invite a speaker, under the auspices of “academic freedom...
