Winter means many things for us at Princeton: the first snow, a good excuse to skip class and, above all else, the bone-chilling, teeth-chattering ... heat of our older dorm buildings.
This year's New Jersey Senate race has a lot of political analysts scratching their heads. Bob Menendez, the Democratic incumbent has out-raised state Sen.
President Bush recently distanced himself from the sex scandals plaguing his fellow Republicans. People go to the polls, he remarked, to strengthen the economy and national defense.
Today's midterm elections bring into high relief the urgent policy challenges facing America, and indeed, the pressing need for strong and principled leadership in the federal government.
A couple of weeks ago Brown University released a report detailing the historical relationship of that institution to the transatlantic slave trade.
Vote on Election Day!Today is Election Day. Election Day is when you vote for your state's political leaders.
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.

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.
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.
Holidays often involve some form of theft. The Grinch stole Christmas, and Halloween stole Princeton's colors.

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.
A nun savagely killed in Somalia, flaming effigies of the pope, threats to conquer Rome ? isn't there a bit of irony in the violent and flagrantly unreasonable reaction of some Muslims in the Middle East to a speech by Pope Benedict XVI about, well, reason?
