Crowe wins over audiences with 'Cinderella Man'

By Amie Sugarman | June 28, 2005

Although a 19-year-old girl is not the most likely person to love a boxing movie, the addition of several of the best actors in Hollywood, a renowned director, and one of the most unbelievable true sports stories of the century makes this quite possible in Ron Howard's "Cinderella Man," starring Russell Crowe as the Depression-era boxer, James Braddock. The film opens on Braddock as a rising boxing star in 1928, living in a wealthy New Jersey suburb with his beautiful wife, Mae (Renee Zellweger), and their three children.

Barreca '79 delivers first summer address

By Jessica Chen | June 28, 2005

In the much-touted inaugural opening address of sophomore summer, Gina Barreca '79 captivated an audience of about 200 students, who greeted her with smiles, laughter and applause. Both humorous and satirical throughout, Barreca pointed out the difficulties of budding feminism at a very male college, noting that when she arrived on campus in September 1975, Dartmouth was "not exactly a bastion of diversity." A noted feminist, Barreca pointed out that she was speaking on the topic not because it was her expertise, but because the admission of women to Dartmouth was the reason for the creation of sophomore summer, mocking the Board of Trustees for its gradual introduction of females into a previously all-male campus. According to Tucker Foundation Dean Stuart Lord, who organized the event, Barreca was chosen as an individual who would speak to students through common Dartmouth experiences. "We could have gone with a national speaker or an alum," Lord said.

Democratic Party Self Destructs

By Eugene Gibas | June 23, 2005

To the Editor: Once upon a time there were a lot of union guys in the Democrat party. They even set the tone. They knew that elections were not philosophy seminars at Dartmouth, but brawls in which a limited number of slogans were shouted to rally the faithful. If such a politician were asked how he would react if his wife were raped, he'd shout "I'd kill the bastard!" They'd not fret about how "bastards" might feel hearing this word. And they'd not natter on about rape statistics, as the effete Dukakis did. Or cry about insults to his wife as the effete Muskie once did. The Republicans won the last election by finding kernels of the truth as they saw it, shooting out forceful sound bytes, i.e., talking points, and getting every Republican in the universe repeating them until they became conventional wisdom, easily recalled and repeated. Howard Dean understands this technique and began to implement it when he said De Lay was probably going to jail.

Cornell Univ. president unexpectedly resigns

By Linzi Sheldon | June 23, 2005

The Cornell University community is still reeling from the shock of the sudden resignation of University President Jeffrey Lehman, who announced his departure June 11. Lehman made the announcement before an audience of 700 alumni, faculty members and college officials at the conclusion of his annual "State of the University address" during Cornell's Reunion Weekend. Those in attendance described audible gasps preceding a standing ovation for the president, who attributed his resignation to unresolved differences between him and the Cornell Board of Trustees. Speculations on the reason behind his departure have varied, but the trustees and Lehman cited differences with the board's strategy for accomplishing Cornell's long-term vision as ultimately driving Lehman's decision to resign. "The differences between me and the board were profound, and they were at a strategic level," Lehman said in an interview published Tuesday in the Chronicle of Higher Education. "It became clear to me that these were not little things that we could work out.

Oasis returns to the arena with 'Don't Believe The Truth'

By Caroline McKenzie | June 23, 2005

Does the fact that only five of the songs on the newest Oasis album, "Don't Believe The Truth," are actually penned by Noel Gallagher make the album actually more representative (democratically) of Oasis, or less like Oasis (artistically)? Does the fact that Ringo Starr's son (Zak Starkey) drums on the album mean that the brothers Gallagher have gone further in their miming of the Beatles?

Brokaw, whose career spanned news events ranging from the Cold War to September 11, warned the graduates that real life is unlike college or high school.
