Inside
- Empty craters full of pain (By NOREEN GILLESPIE Managing editor)
I didn't feel like I had a right to be there. It wasn't my disaster, it wasn't my tragedy. This massive loss of life, this memorial, belonged to the souls who lost their lives and the people who loved them.
Viewpoint
- How I learned to love the Olympics (Scott Flipse Urbanities)
The Salt Lake City Winter Olympics will be long remembered for its politics, plots and intrigues. I will confess that the various controversies have interested me more than the Games themselves. I'm sure there have been enough inspiring moments to fill NBC's post-Olympic video, but the fortunes of Apolo Ohno interested me less than the secret deals made by French judge Marie "tender flower" Le Gougne. The tribulations of Michelle Kwan transfixed me less than the Russian Olympic delegation's press conference that turned into a Mike Tysonesque free-for-all.
- Homosexual acts are categorically wrong (Charles Rice Right or Wrong?)
The American Academy of Pediatrics recently announced its support for legislation to allow children born to or adopted by one member of a same-sex couple to be adopted by the other member of that couple. In light of this and other events, including the presentation of "The Vagina Monologues" at Notre Dame and the emergence of the altar boy as a hazardous occupation in Boston and elsewhere, it may be useful here to recall some basics.
- Alienating allies could prove destructive (Derek Vollmer senior)
President "George V.F.W. Bush" is confused, to borrow the opening statement of Mike Marchand's Viewpoint column yesterday. While Marchand's column is admittedly a parody, his underlying message that critics of recent U.S. foreign policy are snobbish or anti-American is rather explicit. This is, however, an oversimplification of a very complex issue. By branding the nations of North Korea, Iran and Iraq as an "axis of evil" during the highly visible State of the Union address, the president was not merely affirming his commitment to protecting U.S. citizens from the threat of terror.
- Remember the suffering Christ of `fact' (Shannon and Frank Valenzuela graduate students)
It's sad that a person who has had 15 years of Catholic education would ask why humor about God would make people uncomfortable. After 15 years, he should know the answer.

"Only two things are infinite — the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the former."

Scene
- Ramone stays `fast and furious' to the very end (By SEAN McLAUGHLIN Scene Music Critic)
On April 4, 2001, Joey Ramone succumbed to a six-year battle with lymphatic cancer, and America lost one of her true rock 'n' roll saviors. A staple of New York City's legendary CBGB's, the Ramones released their debut album in 1976. Tired of disco and cheezeball arena rock, they wanted to send shockwaves through a music scene that was nearly as lame as the landscape we currently endure today.
- Chris Isaak finally finds the right formula (By JOE LARSON Scene Music Critic)
Chris Isaak has been churning out smooth, moody surf songs since his arrival on the music scene in the late '80s. His songs ooze emotion and the sultry videos he continues to flaunt back up the vibe of his music.
- White Stripes take minimalist approach too far (By LIAM FARRELL Scene Music Critic)
It may have taken longer than expected, but the anti-boy band/anti-Britney/anti-marketed pop music movement has begun. Along with a new legion of singer/songwriters and bands such as the Strokes, minimalist artists reminiscent of underground '60s rock and early punk music have taken their music to the masses. Like the Strokes, the White Stripes have also been hailed by music critics everywhere as the saviors of the currently languid and boring music scene.
