Follow The Money

It would make for a catchy lead if I could say I was surprised, shocked or even disappointed by the article "Dartmouth employees open wallets for Kerry" (October 11, The Dartmouth).

The New Evil Empire

Remember Freedom?

|

America seems to have befriended the former Soviet Union since the fall of the Berlin Wall. With its fall, Americans applauded the lifting of the Iron Curtain and the normalization of relations with the Soviets.

Carney's Blarney

|

In a recent letter to The Dartmouth, Vaughn Carney ("Scare Tactics, Part Two," October 1) launched into a painfully uninformed diatribe against the Bush Administration and its alleged attempts to reinstate the military draft.



Opinion

Verbum Ultimum

|

The formation of a Social Event Management Procedure Review Committee this week presents the College with an opportunity to reevaluate its disingenuous alcohol policies and actually take student input -- and perhaps reality -- into account.

Assaulting Common Sense

|

Weapons of mass destruction don't kill people. People kill people. Individuals are the ones that decide to use weapons of mass destruction and kill people.

Eating Right

|

Take a moment to travel back in time with me, to a time when fad diets, weight-loss drugs and gastric bypass surgery were the headlines.
