Filibuster This

By Raza Rasheed | February 15, 2010

In this hyperpartisan era, where gridlock is the norm and legitimate compromise happens only within the dominant ruling coalition rather than between the two parties, the filibuster is the single worst aspect of our rotting corpse of a government.

21st Century Poetry

By Brendan Woods | February 14, 2010

Watching the Super Bowl last weekend, I was reminded of our preoccupation with technology. Six high tech cameras were used to film the action, the game was broadcast online in 10 different languages and the halftime show stage lights were almost amazing enough to make me forget about The Who's lethargic performance.

Letter to the Editor: Undeserved Support

By Thomas Leddy-Cecere '10 | February 10, 2010

To the Editor: Ethan Wang '13 ("Community College," Feb. 9) argues that the relationship between the College and the Upper Valley community is based on mutual respect, and we "deserve the support of the community in standing up against [the proposed alcohol] policies." As a '10 and a native of the Upper Valley, I felt compelled to respond. Wang speaks of "myriad hours" spent by Dartmouth students in local community service; I applaud the actions of those individuals who do work to better the Upper Valley, but the idea that the "goodwill" of their actions spills over to all of those of us who do nothing is flawed.

Reach for the Moon

By Chris Talamo | February 7, 2010

I have written a number of disparaging columns about NASA and their budget in the past. However, President Barack Obama's new budget proposal and its implications for NASA infuriate me more than any of NASA's embarrassing failures ever have.
