Girl Talk ? and the city of Rochester listens
There was a light rain coming down as the sky faded from orange to grey to nightfall this past Saturday, and a long line had formed outside Rochester Institute of Technology's Clark Gymnasium. Ticket in hand and T-shirt damp from the rain, I waited for what was almost guaranteed to be a magical experience. As […]
What Iran would you like to see in 30 years?
BY Samuel LaRussaOn Thursday, Oct. 1, the United States and Iran will engage in direct negotiations for the first time in 30 years. However, this will not be an occasion for pleasantries, but rather an opportunity for the United States to deliver an ultimatum: Iran must accept serious limitations to its nuclear program or face […]

Cut the portions, eh?
As some of you know already, the English department made its annual trip to the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario this past weekend.
