Black Cat: A changing club with a changing scene in a changing city

In daylight, the corrugated steel shutters of 1811 14th Street NW are as unassuming as any closed-for-business city storefront or locked-down warehouse.

Spiraling beyond the spread

With a nervous tapping foot, I couldn’t take it any longer. In the middle of a movie I got up and left the theater, allegedly to use the bathroom. Leaving my seat, palms sweaty with anticipation, I pulled out my phone while jogging down the steps.

Going for Glory

COVER BY CAMERON SMITH It is 5:45 a.m. when the alarm sounds, and Brad Kuntscher (CAS ‘05) rolls over to momentarily ignore its incessant screeching.

Georgetown’s Doctrine of Medical Research

COVER BY SHANTI MANIAN The country’s oldest Catholic university has been conducting research on aborted fetal cell lines for several years. What might surprise you is that this research has been sanctioned by several Catholic bioethicists and even Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, leader of the Archdiocese of Washington.

Fighting for the spotlight

COVER BY KAZUO OISHI Paul Hughes has a new toy. The HOG III lighting board controls an entire lighting system comprised of two “studio spot” units and two “studio color” units, but it looks more like a computer console in Star Trek.
