Clarifying an Analogy

By Michael Weiss | April 25, 2003

To the Editor: In his April 22 column "Why War? Why Not?" Ethan Richards wrote "In his rush to pinpoint the shortcomings of standard liberal arguments, Mr. Weiss ironically forgets to look for areas where he might find the opportunity to criticize himself." There's nothing ironic about that, but there is something hypocritical.

Wrong Focus? Wrong Attitude

By Audrey Campbell | April 25, 2003

To the Editor: The attitude displayed by the self-important April 24 letter "The Wrong Focus" by Chris Moscato saddens me, as it is indicative of the attitude that alienates Dartmouth students from the community.

Berry Very Good

By Daniel Ng | April 24, 2003

Berry Library invites a narrow range of comments from students. Words like "functional" and "sanitized" tend to dominate.

A Case of Contradiction?

By Judd Serrota | April 24, 2003

To the Editor: Andrew Hanauer's April 17 column "Now Is the Time" relating to the Bush administration's supposed lack of action on the Israel-Palestinian issue is at once nonsensical and contradictory. It is contradictory in its description of Yasser Arafat.

Enduring Traditions

By Jefferson Barton | April 24, 2003

To the Editor: The April 16 article "In South Pacific, students aid ailing education system" describes an excellent program that reminds us of the old days when the U.S.

A Courageous Outcry

By Bruce Baker | April 24, 2003

To the Editor: Daniel Kay's April 18 column "Discrimination, Not Diversity" is an exceptionally well written, logical exposition of a very divisive and difficult social problem.

The Wrong Focus

By Chris Moscato | April 24, 2003

To the Editor: In regards to the April 18 news story "Town may donate land for housing," I am really angry that there is talk about housing for employees, and that it gets coverage in the College papers, when student housing is never addressed any more. I think this should be a rally cause that students take up and address with the administration with drive.

Pilots Fight Back

By Robert Butts | April 23, 2003

There may be a new passenger on your next airline flight: a .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol. This past weekend, 46 airline pilots became the first graduates of the Transportation Security Administration's self-defense and firearms training course.

Twenty Pounds of Headlines

By Jon Schroeder | April 23, 2003

This is a typical example of one song that your, uh, English music newspapers would call a drug song: " I go, I don't, uh, I don't write druuuggg songs " (slurring words), "You know like I never have, I wouldn't know how to go about it, but this is not a drug song [crowd claps]. I'm not saying it for any kind of defensive reason or anything like that.

Why War? Why Not?

By Ethan Richards | April 22, 2003

As a concerned citizen and a card-carrying whiny liberal, I find Michael Weiss's frank discussion of the moral underpinnings of the war in Iraq refreshing ("Give War a Chance," Monday, April 21, 2003). Mr. Weiss's article is well crafted, clever and succinct.

Give War a Chance

By Michael Weiss | April 21, 2003

Sam Stein '04 alleges that a "Smells Like Mujahideen Spirit" marketing campaign was deceptively used by the president to sell us war in Iraq ("The Godfather," Tuesday, April 15, 2003). It's amazing to me that someone who makes use of the word "euphemism" in an column could, in the same column, call the overthrow of a fascist dictator a "business transaction" brokered on the equity of Sept.

Is North Korea Ready to Talk?

By Kevin Carmody | April 21, 2003

Amid the news channels' constant coverage of liberated Iraqis dancing in the streets celebrating the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, there has been comparatively little notice of an important development on the Korean peninsula.

Bunnies Don't Lay Eggs

By Nathaniel Paull | April 18, 2003

They really ought to offer a class on the history of holidays. I for one would take it, primarily because it'd probably be an easy and interesting distributive requirement, but I'd also love to know just exactly where we get some of these themes Apparently Christianity takes the cake in terms of having unrelated icons and stories associated with important religious events.

Discrimination, Not Diversity

By Daniel Kay | April 18, 2003

I wish to respond to your editorial board's Wednesday, April 16 column "A Case for Action," in which you argue in favor of the University of Michigan's use of race as a criterion for admission.
