Spin and the City

|

Dartmouth Cable does not include HBO. Thus, those of us in Hanover missed Carrie's last stroll down a New York street during the opening sequence of the last episode of "Sex and the City" Sunday night.

You Should Feel Embarrassed

|

To the Editors: We would like to respond to Chris Galiardo's op-ed (The Dartmouth, Feb. 12). While we are in no way interested in starting a public debate about the relative merits of the "pro-life" and "pro-choice" camps, we are compelled to address a few of the more significant errors in Galiardo's article.

Debunking the Safety Myth

|

Dartmouth is truly a wonderland; a world completely apart from reality. An enormous snow sculpture of the Cat in the Hat sits in the middle of the Green, students participate in human dog sled races, laptops sit unattended in the library and dorm room doors remain perpetually unlocked.

Praise, and a Clarification

To the Editors: I want to thank you for the concern and publication on HIV/AIDS. It is a devastating epidemic that everyone should be aware of globally, it has left no corner of the earth safe.

|

In a week of unprecedented movement toward the legal recognition of same-sex unions, it was encouraging to see that, like San Francisco and Massachusetts, New Hampshire is beginning a long-overdue conversation on the controversial subject of gay marriage.

On the Fence

|

After a month of living in Israel only a few kilometers away from the West Bank, I finally caught a glimpse of the infamous "separation fence." I expected to see an ugly and menacing barrier snaking its way through Israel's rocky terrain. And I did. This barrier -- sometimes a towering concrete wall, in other places a mesh fence complete with razor wire, electronic sensors and guard posts -- scars the beautiful, rugged Judean Hills.

The Good Doctor's Legacy

|

It turns out Wisconsin was Howard Dean's last stand after all. Following his distant and disappointing finish in the Badger State Tuesday, Dean ended his run for the presidency, marking the end of a campaign that perhaps will go down as the most meteoric rise and catastrophic collapse in American political history. It may have been the media overplaying the "I Have a Scream" speech.

In the Name of Progress

|

Shortly after the recent ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to legalize same-sex marriages, the state legislature unsuccessfully attempted to produce a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages.

I Have a Scream ---- Not!

|

Howard Dean's scream may well have been the beginning of the end for the candidate's candidacy. The vocal harangue helped prove two of his competitors' primary points: Dean is un-presidential, and Dean is not just a left-winged loony but a pied piper of hot air.

Religion Isn't the Problem

To the Editor: Tanisha Keshava, in "Victory for Same-Sex Couples" (The Dartmouth, Feb. 12), raises a very key fact that has not been raised enough in the ongoing debate of same-sex marriage.



Opinion

Victory for Same-Sex Couples

|

On February 4, 2004, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts declared that the state legislature may not offer "civil unions" instead of marriages for same-sex couples.
