O-ska-ma bin Laden?

Dan Geller and Amy Dykes are more attractive than most indie rockers. Geller’s chiseled features and Dykes’ head of platinum-blond hair do nothing to suggest them as unintended victims of last year’s terrorist attacks. But the’ve paid a price?the duo call themselves “I Am the World Trade Center,” and have recorded under that name for several years.

March for justice, says Jackson

The Reverend Jesse Jackson urged Georgetown students to engage in “massive, non-violent” action by joining the March to Justice on Friday. The march is partly in response to the U.S. Department of Justice’s “closed door” policy towards Iraq.

Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition is organizing the march, with the support of members and leaders from the NAACP, NOW, League of United Latin American Citizens and other groups.

Photo realism

I can’t seem to find words eloquent enough to describe the emotions I felt a year and a day ago. Perhaps some of you can’t, either. But on that day, hundreds of people found something that could speak for them: They picked up a camera, be it film or digital, still or video, and allowed that device to capture what their eyes could not or would not believe.

City on the Hill

It seems we may have moved into some sort of a time warp. Voters across the nation woke up Tuesday morning, went to their local polling precincts and learned the results later that evening or read about them the next day.

Wanted: police protection

On Sept. 25, thousands of protesters are expected to flock to the District to protest the latest round of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings. In the past the city has responded admirably, providing enough police officers to create a safe environment without being threatening or constricting.

She works hard for the money

Have you ever had a real job? I mean, an honest-to-goodness clock-in-clock-out here’s-your-company-polo-shirt job? I don’t think you have. I’m disappointed in you. I was hard-pressed to put my finger on it at first. We all look pretty similar. Yet still, I found some subtle difference between myself and most of the people I knew back in the day?high school?and my new companions.

There’s bad taste … and there’s this

Once, John Waters was a director who existed on the fringes of culture. Now, he has a hit show on Broadway. From the underbelly of artistic legitimacy to the pinnacle of commercial acceptance, John Waters’ current status provokes only mouth-gaping confusion when one is confronted with what is considered his debut film, Pink Flamingos.
