Over the summer two groups, the Coalition to Preserve Claremont's Character and the Friends of the Bernard Biological Field Station, took legal action to block the construction of the Keck Graduate Institute of Life Sciences (KGI).

Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek's Debut: Reflection Eternal
I've anticipated its release for nearly three years now, but after hearing Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek's most recent single, "The Express," a few months ago (an underwhelming track conspicuously absent from the album), I thought that my anticipation would be met with another sub par title. Was I ever wrong.

The End of the World
I am prescribing a pleasure reading threshold: let none enter but the lyrical, memorable and accomplished. Enter Michael Cunningham, who by the way, is all of those things according to the New York Times Book Review. Cunningham's A Home at The End of The World isn't at the top of the Times bestsellers chart today, but that's OK. It's still there, lurking beside Clancy and Delaney in "Fiction."

We Are the Best Country in the World
The Olympics were back and now are gone and, here's a shocker, no one really cares. Oh sure, there's a few of you who really care about if the Americans and Canadians continued their dominance in synchronized swimming, and I'm sure someone is dying to know if their favorite Indonesian badminton player took gold. So this is for you ESPN and ESPN2 junkies who enjoy sport for sport's sake.

Record Companies Must Keep Their High Prices, Not Napster, In Check
Before the recording industry attacks consumers for so-called pirating of its product, it had best look at its own practice of pricing out its customer base. As I write this article, I am listening to a file downloaded off of Napster, yet this hasn't discouraged me from spending money on CDs.

Free Sex Should Trump Free Love
It seems that here at Pomona there are two kinds of romantic relations. First, there are random hookups, which are all too often meaningful to one party but not the other. And second, we have relationships that are far too time consuming for the busy Pomona schedule (which allow for little other than schoolwork and alcohol). Now, we suppose that one could combine "relationship time" with schoolwork or alcohol time, but that seems awfully degenerate.

Let Me Speak Freely and Truthfully
Usage of information attributed to anonymous sources is one of the most delicate matters in journalism. Because a newspaper is a public forum that reaches a broad audience, information disseminated in its pages must be accurate in every way.

You Never Know!
Elections are rolling around again, and once more we're presented with two corporate candidates so similar that at times during this first debate I honestly couldn't tell them apart. Bush and Gore are identical on crime policy, the military, free trade, biotechnology, and a whole slew of other issues where the differences are purely semantic.
