The Week in Review

Tom Spence '83: Vox Clamantis
by Matthew Tokson
 Founded in 1996, Dallas-based Spence Publishing has elicited praise from the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, Time, the Washington Times, and Publishers Weekly. It has also elicited vitriolic criticism from certain censorious left-wingers.

Multiculturalism: Fact or Threat?
by Dinesh D'Souza
 There has been a remarkable demographic shift that has changed the complexion of American society over the last 40 years. One reason for this change is the fact that most immigrants today come from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, rather than from Europe.

The Kangaroo Court on Kissinger
by Viraj Patel & John Stevenson
 Christopher Hitchens’s new book, The Trial of Henry Kissinger, is misleading. The book is not at all a trial but a series of slanderous charges followed by a slew of weak insinuations posing as supporting evidence, all suggesting that American scholar and distinguished statesman Kissinger is a war criminal.

Salvaging Classical Studies
by J. Lawrence Scholer
 Hanson et al. see the classics as an academic discipline on the verge of extinction in higher education. Apathetic students and an ignorant public, however, are not guilty; their disinterest is justified. Blood is on the hands of classicists who have butchered their own discipline

Alumni: Fight Student Brainwashing
by Monroe Diefendorf
 Why are alumni surprised that the teachings of the American Founders and Abraham Lincoln stand now in an adversarial relation to the softer orthodoxies that are dominant on the campus? In the reigning doctrines of radical feminism and "postmodernism," there are no moral truths, which form the basis of our rights.

by Alston Ramsay
 When my Uncle Ben asked if I wanted to go down to the beach and do some deep-sea fishing, I was all too eager to accept, asking only, "Well what kind of fish are we looking for?"

Indie Rock Goes Stadium, But Smart
by Stefan M. Beck
 Although, I’m a self-described lover and connoisseur of indie-rock, I hadn’t, until very recently, heard much Built To Spill. I’d listened to snippets of a few of their songs, in friends’ cars, but I hadn’t really enjoyed or appreciated what I’d heard.

Two New Residential Clusters Planned
by Chloe Mulderig
 Building on the glorious aesthetic success of the "Tree Houses," the Office of Residential Life has announced further plans to solve the housing crunch. The College has decided to build permanent housing. The Tree Houses are only supposed to be a five to ten year temporary solution —just as the River dorms and the Choates were originally planned to be.

New Greek Leadership Council
by Brian Ross
 The presidents of all Greek organizations voted Monday, October 1, to replace the Coed Fraternity Sorority Council (CFSC) with the new Greek Leaders Council (GLC). The new council will be made up of the presidents of all College recognized Greek organizations, a non-voting moderator, and the presidents of the Greek sub-councils, who will not be able to vote in meetings.
