Opinion

A pragmatic peace

TIME IS against Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. With 10 months left in the Bush administration, the opportunity for a Palestinian and Israeli peace may soon pass her by.


Opinion

A woman's right to talk

FOR A WHILE, I tried to avoid calling myself a feminist. I avoided writing too many columns about women's issues, and I avoided heated talks about gender in discussion sections.


Opinion

Behind bars and out of mind

RECENTLY, I made my way home to celebrate with my older brother who was just released from jail. He was serving time for the distribution of crack cocaine.


Opinion

Office space

AFTER the madness of St. Patrick's Day (and night) subsided, I began the thankless task of chipping away at work I had ignored.


Opinion

Commerce commotion

"GET READY to rumble!" These were the exclamations emitting from Charlottesville on Nov. 26, 2007, as WWE Smackdown/ECW Live arrived at JPJ.

Saving Beta House

CHARLOTTESVILLE'S preservation community believed that it made cultural, economic and environmental sense for the Jefferson Scholars Foundation to incorporate Eugene Bradbury's historic Compton House (Beta House) into the plans for its Fellows Center on Maury Avenue.


Opinion

Don't stand by

FOR A POLITICIAN in America, there is no quicker way to fall from grace than by cheating on his wife.

Opinion

Real intelligence in science

NEXT MONTH, the controversy surrounding creationism and evolution will get some additional attention from none other than Ben Stein, who will star in a new documentary called "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed." The documentary essentially proposes that the scientific establishment squashes all viewpoints that don't adhere to evolutionary biology -- academic censorship of sorts -- and that intelligent design (ID) deserves a fair shot in public school science curriculums.


Opinion

Paternal birth rights

LIKE most Americans, I have grown sick of politicians who keep fighting the Roe v. Wade battle. Nonetheless, while the broad debate over abortion receives plenty of attention, many of the ethical questions that stem from legalized abortion are widely ignored.


Opinion

Fighting the good fight

I AM NOT surprised that Ralph Nader has decided once again to run for president. He announced his candidacy in classic fashion, citing numerous examples of corrupt government policies, dishonest politicians and disillusioned American citizens as reasons for his decision.


Opinion

What is there to hide?

WHILE most University students probably didn't give much thought to Charlottesville last week, legislators in Richmond decided essentially to close all donor records from the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.
