So the Super Bowl’s over, what now? These are the two or three weeks of the year when I start getting work done, my roommates make video games a full-time occupation and my sports-addicted grandfather refuses to leave his house, mired in a crippling mix of withdrawal, depression and impatience.

Vaira Vike-Freiberga, the president of Latvia, advocated the necessity for a stronger trans-Atlantic partnership in a speech on Tuesday.

With any luck, you’ve already read this week’s cover story about the Voice staff’s favorite area restaurants. Now, while we at Voice Leisure are committed to getting students off campus to take advantage of Washington’s many cultural offerings, we understand that there are many times when leaving campus just isn’t an option.

I used to be the nerdy kid in elementary school.
That was the kid whose genuine attachment to the learning process was overshadowed by those who had a genuine place in the cool group.
