The Daily Princetonian

From the Left

The damage of the first six years of George W. Bush's presidency cannot be undone. We can't take back the horror of Katrina or the thousands of lives and billions of dollars lost in Iraq.

Can you hear me now?

I'm certainly not an uber-geek, but I spend a lot of time with computers and I teach a course about how computers and communications affect society, so in theory I should be an expert on things technological.

Finding space

It would be hard not to notice all the construction that is going on around campus. From Whitman College to the new neuroscience and arts buildings, it is clear that the University is finally providing the space students need when it comes to dorm and academic life.

A deficit of sensitivity

Artistic representations of the delicate nature of suicide require extraordinary tact, sensitivity and sensibility ? all of which are lacking in Casey Alexander's new film project "gamefish."Alexander takes no pains to hide the fact that his film is supposed to be a commentary on the suicide of Manzili Davis '06. Though there is nothing necessarily wrong with making a film about a student suicide ? though perhaps it is a little too soon to be airing a film about one on Princeton television ? fault certainly does lie in the complete absence of any accreditation on the part of the director.To make matters worse, by his own admission, Alexander failed to notify any members of the Davis family ? an inexcusable act.

Hold the guard against complacency

I awaited Brown University's report on its 18th-century ties to slavery with great interest. Students at my elementary school were conditioned to think only of the American South when we thought of slavery, a horrid place where our ancestors suffered, just below the Mason-Dixon line that marked this country as half-slave and half-free.

Discarded teeth and formless tissue

Perhaps some of you saw the pictures of aborted children along Washington Road on Monday afternoon. I thought the pictures were terrible and extremely saddening ? dismembered babies cannot be otherwise.It is important that the Princeton community know (since it was not made clear in Tuesday's Daily Princetonian article) that Repent America did not notify me nor anyone else that I know of in Princeton Pro-Life, about their plans.

War, society and the American soul

In some respects, the news from North Korea is an expression of a larger problem. To be sure, there are grave nuclear issues surrounding Iran, and the situation in Iraq has little chance of meaningful improvement.The "larger problem" that we face is also one without any tangible boundaries, but there the resemblance ends.
