Considering that Manchester-based indie phenoms, Doves, literally formed from the ashes of a burnt down recording studio, it comes as a fitting coincidence that the centerpiece of their latest album, "Some Cities," is an exhilarating, intoxicating anthem titled "Walk in Fire." The band -- twin brothers Andy (drums) and Jez Williams (guitar) and frontman Jimi Goodwin (bass and vocals) -- formed in 1998 after a studio fire put an end to the trio's previous project, a dance ensemble called Sub Sub.

In weeding through the opinion pieces over the last few weeks, it is easy to see that there are many areas at Dartmouth in need of better funding. Two pieces in particular stand out. The first was written by Welton Chang on Jan. 24 and is titled "Supporting Those Who Serve." Chang makes a strong and supported argument that there is not nearly enough funding for the ROTC program at Dartmouth, and it is floundering compared to its peers as a result. The second was The Dartmouth Editorial Board's "Verbum Ultimum" of Jan. 28, where the Board points out that there is a need for more professors.

Yes, it's wrong to stereotype, but goshdarnit, Canadians are such nice folks! They've contributed so much to American culture for so long (Dan Aykroyd, four-fifths of The Band, Molson, numerous cold fronts, the list goes on) that it's a wonder one nation could be so generous. What's more, now that a mad scramble for American dollars has strangled the life out of Canada's most revered institution, the National Hockey League, our neighbors to the north have not only turned the other cheek, they've sent us yet another gift for our entertainment.

Anthony Shears seems like the average Dartmouth junior: he wears a giant jacket, wool cap, backpack and carries his laptop under one arm. But when he opens up his iTunes, it's not just famous artists' music -- Shears' own rhythms and harmonies flow out.

T. J. Rodgers' campaign for the Board of Trustees of Dartmouth deserves attention. It has certainly tickled the Wall Street Journal ("Mr. Rodgers' Neighborhood," Review and Outlook, March 26), which cheekily described the attempt of the head of a billion-dollar corporation to sit on the board of a multi-billion-dollar college as "insurgent." Rodgers' platform promises to eliminate diversity objectives in admissions, to end diversity programming, and to liberate the student body from the servitude of political correctness. He has declared that gender and race have no place in admissions -- and presumably hiring -- deliberations, which should only be based on merit. The current situation cannot be what Martin Luther King intended in his "dream," he laments.

In China, it's the year of the Monkey. In Iraq, it's the year of freedom from Saddam's rule. And in Hollywood, it's the year of the adaptation. Once upon a time, someone had the novel -- pun intended -- idea to turn popular fiction into popular cinema. Today, film adaptations of popular novels are more ubiquitous than Paris Hilton at B-list parties. The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "Cold Mountain" swept the holiday season box office, and the upcoming "The Stepford Wives" (an adaptation of Ira Levin's novel) and "Troy" (an adaptation of Homer's "Iliad") hope to follow in their footsteps. From the depths of this sea of revision comes "House of Sand and Fog," based on the heartwrenchingly tragic novel by Andre Dubus III.

In the radio world of mass-produced, cookie cutter male singer/songwriters, it's necessary to do something pretty spectacular in order to stand apart from the crowd. Listening to the radio these days, one might conclude that basically anyone who can play a guitar and carry a tune is radio-worthy, but to become a timeless singer/songwriter like Bob Dylan, Nick Drake or Richard Thompson it takes a great deal more talent than proclaiming that someone's body is a wonderland.
