'Stephanie' tracks aftermath of murder

By Laura K. Tepper | April 13, 1999

In 1996, a year and half after her daughter's body was found under a workbench in her brother's basement, Gloria Davis approached filmmaker Bess O'Brien. "You don't know me," Davis said, "but I've seen 'Journey into Courage' (a documentary O'Brien made about domestic violence) and I want you to make a movie about my daughter." Intrigued by Gloria and moved by her story, O'Brien agreed, and spent the next year obtaining footage of Gloria and her remaining daughter, April, for what would become the documentary "Where is Stephanie?" "I became really close to (Gloria and April) over the course of filming," O'Brien said.

To the Editor: In Thursday's issue of the D, Professor Luxon brought to our attention the faith statements of two on-campus ministries (Campus Crusade for Christ and the Navigators).

Noted Evangelist to Visit Campus This Week

By Nicole Leonard | April 13, 1999

To the Editor: One writer called Jesus, "The Irresistible Christ."

Gilder explains 'zero-sum' problem

By Mitch Yashiro | April 12, 1999

George Gilder -- celebrated author, economist, technology prognosticator and former Presidential speech writer -- kicked off the Senior Symposium's lectures series with a speech titled, "Why Technology Is Green and Ecology Isn't" Friday night in the Rockefeller Center. Gilder started by throwing a question to the audience, "What do the war in Kosovo, global warming conference in Kyoto and social security crisis have in common?" He explained that all three are based on a "zero-sum" game theory, in which a gain for someone is a loss for others. "It used to be thought that the only way you can improve your own position is to reduce the position of someone else," Gilder said.

A Mantra of Hate and Intolerance is Not Valid

By Alexander Nazaryan | April 9, 1999

To the Editor: Congratulations, Mr. Hutson-Ellenberg. You have reached an unprecedented low with yesterday's letter "There is Nothing Wrong with Expressing Hatred." To suggest that of the hateful pamphlets sent to Dartmouth community members is the most ludicrous editorial I have read in The Dartmouth this year.

Bathroom Humor

By Jeff Deck | April 9, 1999

After its long hiatus, few people should be surprised to see that this column has gone down the toilet. I'd like to address a place that we visit every day, and yet has somehow become a taboo subject for editorials--the bathroom.
