...Amazing Screw-On Head," by Mike Mignola is a delightfully goofball one-shot about an animate doll's head that gets called upon to save the world. It was nominated for best humor publication. In a completely different vein, Junji Ito's "Uzumaki," an English-translated series of fat Japanese manga books, is a really interesting horror comic about a town whose residents suddenly discover their lives are plagued by spiral shapes. Their bodies twist into snail shells and those who try to leave get returned back again. On the more serious side it was a great pleasure to find...
...Faculty William C. Kirby decided last month to abandon his controversial proposal to ditch shopping period—or refashion it until it became unrecognizable—many people now think the appropriate way forward for undergraduate education reform is through piecemeal tinkering rather than sweeping alterations. In that vein, Monday’s announcement by Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Peter T.

Every few minutes the bleeding paratrooper would pick up his head, smile weakly and give a thumbs up. He was still with them...
...which he would deliver his trademark “rants” about various topical issues, always ending with the disclaimer: “Of course, that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong.” Though he was never a partisan Democrat in the vein of Al Franken ’73, Miller consistently skewered the GOP as an insensitive, intolerant collection of right-wing blowhards. On one show in September 1995, he said Mario Cuomo’s address to the 1984 Democratic Convention had been “fueled by brains, guts...
...write regarding the photograph in Tuesday’s paper (Photo, “Winter Wonder,” Feb. 11) of the giant snow penis, complete with testicles and a vein. Why did the Crimson—a newspaper that considers itself professional—include a picture of the penis? It is entirely inappropriate for students, faculty, administrators and alumni to open the paper and see this picture. Yet, the picture is nowhere to be found online. Why? Would you worry that more people would see it and also find it offensive if it were online...
