Why Dean Was Right

By Nicholas E. Heyl | November 7, 2003

To the Editor: I have listened today to the firestorm created by Howard Dean's remark about appealing to the "guys who drive pickups with confederate flag decals on them." I am appalled not by Governor Dean's statement but by the ridiculous misinterpretations of the remark by right wing talk show hosts and the other Democratic candidates for president. I have known Howard Dean for most of my life and I can tell you without any doubt whatsoever that there isn't a more inclusive individual in American politics.

Happy for a Living

By Tom Tunguz | November 4, 2003

I want to be happy for a living. I am lost. Faced with a sudden swell, an undertow sucking me toward a corporate world, I feel pressured into enlisting myself to causes in which I don't believe, into an army fighting for black numbered territory in some global battle, where strategic objectives are called market share, profit and P/E ratio.

Diversity or Farce?

By Adil Ahmad | November 4, 2003

I was at a conference in Washington, D.C., recently and had the good fortune of sitting at a surprisingly diverse dinner table with eight other students -- two African Americans, two Asians, one Hispanic and the rest white, different sexes, and each from a different state.

Florida is a lovely state blessed with warm weather nearly year-round that is the envy of all Dartmouth students, as we brave snowfall in October.

The Power of the Observer

By Jhilam Biswas | November 3, 2003

You cannot solve a problem if you are not exposed to its reality. This idea is so simple, but digging down to the root of a concern has become a thorny dilemma for developing countries, especially when it comes to healthcare.

Did you know that DDS bakers come in to work every day at 4:30 a.m.? Or that there are 1,177 bathrooms or shower rooms on campus that are cleaned on a daily or weekly basis?

Fear This Man

By Andrew Hanauer | October 30, 2003

There's a Texan in Washington, D.C., right now whom we should all fear. He has immense power, and is completely convinced of the righteousness of his terrifying ideas.

Thwarting Progress

By Robert Butts | October 29, 2003

You've never heard of Bob Thompson, and it's a shame. America ought to laud Bob Thompson as a hero: he's a retired entrepreneur who tried to donate almost a quarter billion dollars to improve education in inner-city Detroit.
