The deadly politics of power

By Kevin Sheneberger | March 18

Liberal columnist Kevin Sheneberger: "No, God is not dead. In fact, last time I checked, He was assisting John Kerry with his recent sweep in the Tuesday primaries. American University, despite its best efforts with the CLEG program, often fails to introduce cross-academic intellectual pursuits and analysis when it so benevolently bestows upon us our $32,000-education. As a result of this void, we find action without passion, passion without depth, and politics without philosophy. It is my humble hope that, through introducing a pinch of philosophical support for my ideas, I might aid in the growth of inter-academic relations."

Charlie Kaufman has created memorable roles which have drawn masterful, divergent performances from Cage and Cusack, so why not from Carrey?

By Jeannette Kimmel | March 18

Although the numbers of deaths caused by AIDS, which is a leading cause of death among young people around the world, is increasing, the amount of coverage by the media has decreased significantly.

Lehigh strips AU of NCAA dream

By Ian Quillen | March 18

The AU Men's Basketball team's third-straight trip to the Patriot League final proved even less charmed than it's first two. While the Eagles' PL championship losses to Holy Cross in 2002 and 2003 were disheartening, neither equaled the cruelty of Sunday's 59-57 loss at Lehigh, which again cost the Eagles the league championship and their first ever trip to the Div.
