Out of My Skin

|

I am white. No, let me rephrase that. My skin is white. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that you've heard this story before in a million different ways from a million different angles.


Opinion

A Matter of Choice

|

It's that time of year again: the secrecy between friends, the camaraderie among strangers, private conversations and 3 a.m.


Opinion

In Dartmouth We Trust

|

Recently, a friend from Cornell emailed me out of the blue to ask, "Were two professors really murdered at Dartmouth?" Yes, I replied, they lost their lives to a random act of violence that nobody could have seen coming.



Opinion

The Clone Wars

|

The clone wars are coming, and no, I don't mean to theaters this summer. After lying dormant for several months since the House of Representatives passed a bill that would prevent the use of cloning for both reproductive and therapeutic purposes, the cloning debate is about to heat up again as the Senate prepares to entertain its own version of the bill.


Opinion

A Democratic Choice

|

Ana Bonnheim begins a March 4 column about the irreproachable institutions of liberty and democracy with the title "Why Israel is Important." She claims that the future of the "democratic free world" is jeopardized by the anti-democratic nature of Palestinian suicide bombers.


Opinion

Aye Garamba!

|

My big break has finally come! I was eagerly waiting as the correspondent from WBZ Channel 4 in Boston made her way through the TV room in Collis.


Opinion

Women, Math and Dartmouth

|

On April 7, 2002, President James Wright announced that Dartmouth would implement several major initiatives recommended in a report by the College's Committee on Institutional Diversity and Equity.




Opinion

A Project for Justice

|

To the Editor: I hope the family and many friends of Half and Susanne Zantop find some sense of justice and closure in Thursday's sentencing of Robert Tulloch and James Parker.


Opinion

Make Thought, Not Flames

|

To the Editor: Dan Rothfarb, who has written several controversial editorials lately, may hold some views concerning life, society, morality, and faith with which I and others strongly disagree (I for example, am a Bible-believing, born again, baptized, Calvinist Christian and maintain that there is a God and that His truth is absolute truth -- I doubt Mr. Rothfarb would agree); but in his defense, his columns are among the most interesting, the most intelligent, the most thought-provoking, the most mature and the most responsible editorials that have graced the pages of The Dartmouth in recent years. Let these controversial issues actually provoke thought!


Opinion

A Charge to Keep

|

Is President George W. Bush on easy street? Does the success of the war on terror make him immune from criticism?


Opinion

Fighting Black and White in Israel

|

Ana Bonnheim's April 4 column in The Dartmouth, "Why Israel is Important," is just another example of a one-dimensional view of ethnic conflicts that has found particular support in the United States since Sept.


Opinion

A Real Peace for Galilee

|

We are witnessing in the current Israel-Palestinian conflict a perversion of the liberal international system which usually brings peace to democratic nations.


Opinion

Jews for Jesus

|

It wasn't until coming to college that I began to identify, or be identified, as a Jew. Maybe I became identified as a Jew here, though I was never identified as one at home, because of the small population of Jews at Dartmouth, and the large Jewish community in my hometown.


Opinion

Shifting Alliances

|

The Arab world must be a far more forgiving place than we have been led to believe. How else can we explain the current unity of purpose shared by the Arab world in defense of Iraq -- when only a decade ago competing factions fought each other in the Gulf War? In a bold strategic gamble, Yasser Arafat allied himself with Saddam Hussein when Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990.



Opinion

Israel, Palestine and Terror

|

By Mohamad Bydon '01 In her April 4 column in The Dartmouth,"Why Israel is Important," Ana Bonnheim '03 simplifies the current war between Israelis and Palestinians to one between democratic values and terrorism.
