...screen adaptation. In a culture corrupted by filth and overflowing with movies whose artistic merit is alternately minimal or non-existent, it is odd that a film and a story as well-crafted and as beautiful as “Narnia” have been the target of such vitriol...
...expressed in her letter of withdrawal the belief that releasing these documents would set a precedent limiting executive privilege. Although it can be debated whether her rationale for withdrawing to preserve executive privilege is reasonable, her decision to withdraw was undeniably the correct one. Much of the anti-Miers vitriol swirling around her nomination was spawned from a conservative fear that her views on critical social issues, such as abortion, were unclear. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., for one, refused to endorse her out of a fear that she would fail to retain a strictly conservative judicial philosophy. Miers?...
First, meet Andrew H. Golis ’06 and Chimaobi O. Amutah ’07, the agro-alchemists of the Cambridge Common protest blog (http://cambridgecommon.blogspot.com).

That experience would be a walk in the park compared to the vitriol if she ran for President. And while I'd love to see someone confront, and defeat, the free-range haters on the right, the last thing we need is a campaign that would polarize the nation even more. Indeed, we could use the exact opposite-a candidate who would inspire America...
