Shortly after he finished finals last spring, Graham M. Gephart ’04 threw a kayak, a mountain bike, three pairs of skis, and assorted outdoor gear into his ’93 Volvo and set off for California. For the next three and half months, he worked as an intern with Unparalleled Productions and helped produce the company’s latest ski movie, Soul Slide. After battling numerous obstacles, including a nonexistent budget, pesky wild animals and assorted mechanical problems, the production crew completed the project in early September.

It’s something I have a passion...

Speaker Newt Gingrich nixed minority leader Dick Gephart's request to strictly timetable the House impeachment probe Wednesday, saying it "puts the cart before the horses." An angry Gephardt responded by denying Gingrich a joint photo-op following their meeting Wednesday, perhaps the most potent political snub there is.
