Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives just aren't tactful when it comes to foreign affairs. In what foes are calling the "Enmienda Halliburton" (the Halliburton Amendment), Republicans on the House International Relations Committee have attached a clause to a State Department bill calling for "an accord to open Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) to investment by U.S. oil companies." PEMEX would have to open up to foreign investment before the United States agreed to an amnesty deal for illegal Mexican immigrants. Although Mexican President Fox has been pushing for an amnesty deal since he came into office, the Bush administration has been reluctant to tackle the issue. Now, Republicans are asking Mexico for oil in exchange for amnesty. One of Mexico's leading dailies said it best: "Blackmail in the U.S.: Immigration Accord for PEMEX."
You plagiarized a seminar paper, failed your final exam, walked out of the makeup exam and filed a lawsuit against your college, what would you get? "Expelled" would be a good first guess, but wrong.

Some students found out as early as December. Most learned of their fate in April. And inevitably some couldn't make up their mind until the May 1 deadline.

"If only one could be sure that every 50 years a voice and a soul like Odetta's would come along, the centuries would pass so quickly and painlessly we would hardly recognize the time," Maya Angelou said in 1999.
he May 13 column "End the Occupation, India" by Adil Ahmad '04 baffled and offended us when we read it last week.
There is a climactic car chase/fight scene/shootout in The Matrix: Reloaded that was one of the most relevant parts of the Wachowski brothers' film. It wasn't because of the technical mastery of the wire work, special effects and martial arts. This explosive action sequence piqued my attention because all of the cars involved were GM products. An Escalade SUV and a CTS sports sedan, as part of their service to the Grande Dame of American Luxury, were the chosen mounts of leading actors in the film. Fittingly, their demises are glorious and almost emotional affairs of painfully screeching metal, angry stuttering machine guns and roaring engines. Yet the entire spectrum of GM cars are gleefully destroyed as well. Featuring prominently were a series of unfortunate Malibus, Suburbans, Caprices, Intrigues and GMC trucks.

After his first lesson, he made eye contact with his parents for the first time, while correctly reciting the names of all the Farm's horses.

Students on the College's foreign study program in Fez, Morocco, are safe and will continue their studies despite having been only four hours away from Al-Qaida-linked terrorist attacks that killed dozens in Casablanca on Saturday.
"Down With Love" is a tribute to the Rock Hudson and Doris Day comedies of the early '60s. The movie begins with a series of colorful cartoons and has a wonderfully retro feel throughout. Set in 1962, the fanciful costumes, stage sets and music work seamlessly to provide delightful eye and ear candy for an hour and a half.
