Nyack confronts Bush on marriage - Guest column

(04/08/04 5:00am)

The most controversial debate currently surrounding our nation's politics is not about weapons of mass destruction, health care or education, but rather gay marriage. The president recently gave support to a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, saying, "Government, by recognizing and protecting marriage, serves the interests of all. Today, I call upon the Congress to promptly pass and to send to the states for ratification an amendment to our Constitution defining and protecting marriage as a union of a man and woman as husband and wife."

When leaders listen, students should vote - Guest column

(02/26/04 5:00am)

Who is John Kerry?" Ask several members of my beginning Hebrew class as I attempt to talk about the election in my homework using my limited vocabulary. I was completely shocked: Are my classmates so out of tune with politics and what goes on in the outside world? The answer, thankfully, is no.

Case debunks myths, advances peace cause - Guest column

(02/05/04 5:00am)

Alan Dershowitz, world-renowned Harvard law professor, finally refutes the common myths proclaimed by the anti-Israel side of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In keeping with the theory, "Do what you know best," Dershowitz displays his "case" using a defense attorney's strategy -- citing the accusation, the accusers, the reality and then proving the case. The book touches on a wide range of issues -- Is Israel a colonial, imperialist state? Have the Jews exploited the Holocaust? And has Israel engaged in genocide against Palestinian civilians? Each of these, plus 29 other myths, are given their own chapter to be discussed.

Sen. Wellstone will be missed

(10/31/02 5:00am)

Last Friday as I sat in Terrace Court eating my lunch and attempting to do The New York Times crossword puzzle, I glanced at the television screen and saw Senator Paul Wellstone's picture appear. At first I was confused. It was at the height of the Maryland shootings coverage and I couldn't figure out what the senator from Minnesota had to do with them. When I took a closer look, however, I found the dates 1944-2002 under his name and picture. My body went numb.
