- Pains, Strains, and (Myra McGriff )
It is six o'clock in the evening and I am standing on the corner of Michigan Avenue, downtown Chicago, waiting in the cold and rain that feels like ice.
Viewpoint
- Recognizing Church teaching on homosexuality (Charles Rice Right or Wrong?)
At Notre Dame good things happen from the bottom up. For example, on Nov. 9 the Maritain Center, Knights of Columbus and St. Thomas Moore Society sponsored a presentation by Father John Harvey, OSFS, and David Morrison on Catholic teaching and homosexuality.
- Quote of the Day (Kurt Vonnegut writer)
"I was taught that the human brain was the crowning glory of evolution so far, but I think it's a very poor scheme for survival."
- Do it right rather than rapidly (Joanna Mikulski Innsbruck Stimme)
Last Sunday my host family invited my parents, who visited for Thanksgiving, and I to dine at their home. We arrived at two o'clock and moved slowly to the dinner table, where we enjoyed a wonderful three-course meal consisting of Austrian specialties. Conversation about Innsbruck and Tirol and the Alps filled the pauses between the bites of food and sips of Viennese wine. After eating for an hour and a half we took a walk around their small town of Sistrans located outside of Innsbruck and returned to coffee and Sachertorte, an Austrian chocolate-cake dessert. Classical music hummed in the background as we sat by the fire and finished off the Sunday dinner five hours later with red wine and traditional Tirolien fruit and nut bread.

Scene
- Boys show off new sense of maturity in new album (By LAURA ROMPF Scene Music Critic)
A lot has happen since the summer of 1999, when the Backstreet Boys released its sophomore album Millennium. The single "I Want It That Way" took the country by storm, and landed in the top 10 of the Rolling Stone/MTV Top 100 Pop Songs of all time.
- The W proves worth the wait for loyal Wu fans (By TODD CALLAIS Scene Music Critic)
They have made their incredibly loyal fans wait impatiently for 3 1/2 years — which in the rap industry is two lifetimes. And although the Rza has produced a number of solo albums from all of the Wu-Tang members (with the exception of Masta Killa) and the fact that there has been a number of side projects, fans were still yearning for all of the members to get back together for the first Wu-Tang album in almost four years.
- Slim explores experimental concepts on Halfway (By TOM OGORZALEK Scene Music Critic)
When it comes to the big beats, there is no artist better known than Fatboy Slim. Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars, his first release since his 1998 breakthrough You've Come a Long Way, Baby is more mature and inventive than even that offering (which he called "too Disney").
