On Sunday, Oct. 1, Curb Your Enthusiasm — Larry David's groundbreaking and widely acclaimed comedic television project — returned to HBO after six years off the air. In 2011, after eight Curb seasons, many fans considered the show to be finished and never to return to television again. But Sunday saw the modern comedic staple return. Only time and multiple viewings of the show will determine whether or not this season of Curb Your Enthusiasm will live up to the high expectations of its well-established past, but the buzz around Larry David's comedic masterpiece's return to television demonstrates fans' intense and undying love for the comeback.

The current Washington news cycle and most primetime news shows will lead you to believe that our country is at a point of irreversible and ultimate divide. While this point is true in some ways, it can lead us to forget that in other ways, we are all more or less the same. We all struggle, feel, and experience life in the same way.

On April 11, 2017, Princeton Garden Theatre welcomed Darryl McDaniels as part of visiting associate professor Amy Herzog’s spring course on visual arts and music. McDaniels’s might not be a recognizable name, but he fundamentally shaped the sound of the late 20th century as one of the founding members of the superstar group Run-D.M.C., who opened the doors for the golden age of hip-hop. At the lecture, McDaniels ended one of his responses by saying, “Art succeeds where politics and religion fail.” All forms of art carry a responsibility. Here at the University, we’re much removed from the South Bronx, but most of us are artists in some way or another. We don’t simply create art for the sake of art, but rather for the sake of something greater.

On March 9, the University’s Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination hosted a lunch seminar with former Prime Minister of Portugal and former President of the EU Commission José Manuel Barroso. Prime Minister Barroso’s speech highlighted the need, in the face of increased nationalism around the world, for a renewed confidence and investment in the European Union. The EU and any such supranational organization only flourishes, Barasso said, when its member-states take pride in such international cooperation and embrace the nature of the institution.

The presidential seal of the United States flashes up on the screen, and for a second, it seems like an official message from the White House. We forget for a moment that it’s 11:30 p.m. on a Saturday night, and let our imaginations run wild. Melissa McCarthy walks out in a big suit and hairpiece, yelling angrily for everyone to be quiet. The crowd roars. And for the next five minutes, we see “Sean Spicer” shout and slam her way through this White House press briefing, as she belittles reporters and asserts her “dominance.” Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!

On Feb. 6, CNN aired a town hall debate between Senator Bernie Sanders and Senator Ted Cruz ’92 on the merits and drawbacks of the Affordable Care Act. Neither man is in the midst of a campaign for political office. The two senators took the stage in front of an audience and millions of home viewers simply to debate their views on Obamacare, to engage in a direct forum with one another, and to have a conversation.

“You gotta sell it to snatch the Grammy.” It was Chance the Rapper who spoke these words on Kanye’s “Ultralight Beam,” and it seems now more than ever, with the recent announcement of the Grammy nominations for the upcoming awards ceremony in February, Chance’s rhymes prove relevant. We associate the Grammy with annual excellence in music, the quality selection of a given year’s releases, the best of the best in terms of music.

If you go to the second floor of Frist and walk down the hall of classrooms, you’ll see an exhibit all about the 13th President of Princeton and 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson. Not unfamiliar to controversy, Wilson has undoubtedly been on the minds of Princeton students and the public in recent years given debates and protests surrounding the President’s controversial stances on the civil rights of African-Americans in the 20th century. This exhibit, entitled “In the Nation’s Service? Woodrow Wilson Revisited” and created by Princeton’s Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library, doesn’t shy away from the truth and provides a holistic view on the American figure’s public service, encouraging students, faculty, and anyone passing by to, as the title suggests, revisit the legacy of one of America’s most well-known Presidents.

The Orange Bubble is a pervasive topic for students at Princeton. We walk around campus amongst magnificent Gothic buildings and stroll down Nassau Street with affluent shops and restaurants at every corner. For the most part, this is what we see of Princeton; this is the edge of our bubble. Maybe you’ve walked all the way down to Hoagie Haven or even taken an Uber to the Walmart or Target nearby. But many of us don’t go beyond Nassau Street, let alone venture out into the other streets and neighborhoods that make up Princeton, New Jersey.

Here at Princeton, we’re pretty close to New York. People always talk about taking the train to Grand Central for the weekend — not to mention the fact that all of our residential colleges frequently offer bus rides up to see Broadway shows. And in general, we’re all happy with our proximity to New York. It’s close but not too close.
