If you happened to be in the Commuter Lounge early yesterday afternoon, then you had the pleasure of discussing current events with Dr. Kent, director of the MPA business program here at Marist College, while enjoying his eccentric personality and sense of humor.
It is sometimes frightening to hear someone else speak aloud the very thoughts [...]

My paternal grandmother Dorothy died ten years ago today; my memory reminded me this during Child Development Psychology class in the early AM. I reflected for a moment and then wrote into my little black book:
“Many things less than perfect, not a tragedy or cause for sorrow. The limitations of life are integral parts to [...]

Slobodan Milosevic, son of successfully suicidal parents and acclaimed “Butcher of the Balkans”, dies of a heart attack at age 64. Tragic, I suppose; I never knew the man, and I don’t feel guilty for the fact that I haven’t shed any tears. There is however a public outcry because he will never face justice [...]

Spring Break began Friday, March 10th and I was distributing flyers the following morning with my father and sister just outside the South Orange train station. We took part in an effort to spread information about peace-seeking events this upcoming weekend in Maplewood (neighboring town). From about 11am to noon, we had a table set [...]

There are many symbols that owe their origin to the Global War on Terror, among the most prominent of which is a U.S. soldier, smiling at the camera, with a thumbs up sign at the end of one arm and an Iraqi detainee attached to the other by a leash. I will not name [...]
