...adopted the British parliamentary system upon its independence, but the country remains unstable, chafing under the weight of its depressed economy. We first entered Port Antonio in the midst of a political rally; the opposing candidate for prime minister stood with a microphone in the center square, shouting a stream of political slogans above the din of reggae music. A throng of people cheered restlessly. A few days later, the incumbent party won in a landslide...
...these passages he employs the imagery of water: the river that runs past his lows home. a different stream every day; the rhythm of its droughts and floods, in tune with Offutt's changing perspectives on his unborn child, and above all, the still waters of the amnion that houses the fetus. The novel reaches its climax in a narrative juxtaposition; Offutt braves a surprisingly mild hurricane in Florida as his wife's water breaks and his son is born, In both cases, Offutt's anxieties prove unfounded...

Two years later, the campus is largely silent on the issue as a steady stream of proposals and counter-proposals have trickled out. The Date Rape Task Force defines date rape as intercourse without 'expressed consent.' The Undergraduate Council defines it as intercourse 'despite expressed unwillingness.' Jewett has proposed a compromise definition. Resolution of this volatile issue may be in sight, which begs the question, Task Force's definition which Jewett...
