...incessant Star Wars comparisons are more than valid, as your own disparaging description of The Two Towers could easily apply to any of the first three films; The Lord of the Rings has officially replaced George Lucas’ space operas as the standard bearers for epic populist entertainment. These will remain important films 25 years from now, and to give the award to another film in 2003 will be forever remembered as one of the Academy’s biggest blunders. I agree that the Academy hasn’t properly identified the year’s best film...
Rami R. Sarafa ’07, treasurer of the Palestinian Solidarity Committee and a member of the Society of Arab Students, said the argument that the barrier will prevent terrorist attacks against Israel is not valid because “there’s going to be an angry population of about 300,000 Palestinians that will still be on the Israeli side of the wall and therefore have access to Israel proper...

Cottonnelle is also not as wasteful as it may seem—its added thickness means it takes fewer sheets to do the job, which easily makes up for the fact that it offers only 400 sheets per roll. And the University wouldn’t necessarily have to go 100 percent Cottonelle—Cabot House offers a good middle ground for the cost and conservation conscious: its superintendent offers both types...
