Foreign Cultures courses are about “other” people. How are we going to understand them if we do not listen to them? The world is up in arms. Some are convinced that the world of Islam—the major subject of Foreign Cultures 17—consists of religious fanatics and that Arabs are basically “terrorists.” Many do fear that we are involved in a “War of Civilizations” almost like “Star Wars.” Ethnic profiling has become the order...
...anthrax deaths, plane crashes and a war that didn?t seem to want to go anywhere until very recently. (Now that it?s on cruise control, defense stocks are pulling back almost as fast as the Taliban troops.) And if this economic year has taught us anything, it?s listen to the markets.

Once directors and screenwriters and actors have lifted him from the books and projected him onto the glamor and glitz of the silver screen, no one will ever be able to separate Harry Potter from Daniel Radcliffe, and vice versa. Why ruin the imagination that Rowling seems to advocate so strongly? Once the movie studio makes a $120-million dollar blockbuster from an insanely popular children’s book, it has provided the public with enough franchise fodder to last another...
