The plan to distribute reparations to African Americans for past injustices carries many merits but some shortcomings as well.
David Horowitz has never lost his desire to shock.The "red-diaper baby" of Communist parents, Horowitz spent his youth as an ally of the Black Panthers, creating mayhem and protesting that black men could never get a fair trial in the United States.Then the Black Panthers murdered one of his friends, and suddenly the criminal justice system didn't look so bad.
Funds should support rearing, not abortingI would like to respond to Natasha Burley '00's March 28 column: "Family planning requires taking a hard look at reality."I believe in choices.
You may have noticed a trend in my articles. I may be fooling myself into thinking that there is anyone out there besides my mother who has read more than one of my articles.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm studying abroad this year. As a service to underclassmen who are curious about the possibilities for "expanding your horizons" and "being old enough to buy beer," I would like to share a few of my foreign experiences.In many ways my life in England is similar to my life in the States.
May I vent? I would just like to say for the record that I am not "a power tool." I do not appreciate being informed by a man with a skewed impression of the typical Princeton student that my "workaholic" habits are the product of my need to build a perfect resume.
Students should value reading assignments, however longWhile Ryan Salvatore '02's column of March 26 probably demonstrates the plight of some unfortunate Princeton students, I would be loathe to apply his opinion to the majority of the student body.
Spring break is about patriotism, sort of. It's a time to join other Americans in the party pilgrimage to places like Cancun, Puerto Rico or Ibiza.

Several years ago, a friend came back from an interfaith discussion on campus.

I appreciate the detailed coverage the 'Prince' gave to graduate student elections in its March 9 article "GSG holds first popular elections."One of the quotes attributed to me, however, did not convey the point I had intended.
I am compelled to respond to Niraj Bhatt '03's piece that appeared in the March 12 issue of the Prince Magazine.

The Bush administration is looking to pick a fight with Russia.The administration has already decided to build a national missile defense system: a virtual "shield" protecting the U.S.
Princeton University gets a lot of public relations mileage out of its preceptorial system. The school's tour guides, its admissions interviewers and its official web site all make a point of telling prospective students exactly what preceptorials are and why they are a such a unique, important feature of the undergraduate academic program.Unfortunately, however, the usefulness of the preceptorial system does not extend very far beyond the realm of advertising.
