Give a hand to the House of Representatives. By a vote of 220-215, the House boldly went where no Congress has gone before on Saturday, approving the greatest overhaul of the health care system since the inception of Medicare over four decades ago. Democrats who supported the measure hailed the Affordable Health Care for America […]
On Thursday November 5, 2009, Justice Richard Goldstone and former Israeli Ambassador Dore Gold faced off in an educational forum. Justice Goldstone proceeded with his presentation without a hitch. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Ambassador Gold. Around four minutes into his speech protesters disrupted him, standing up and refusing to sit even […]
I really don’t want to write about health care. Partly because it’s been done a billion times before, partly because it shouldn’t be my place to cover any issue which is dominating the political sphere, but mostly because there are a lot of crazy people just itching for a fight. So I am not going […]
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Tuesday announced its support for an anti-discrimination ordinance that would provide homosexuals with protection from housing and employment discrimination. The ordinance was ultimately approved by Salt Lake City. Although the church had issued several statements in the past declaring that it would support such measures, […]
As the minutes ran down the Judges stepped up their offensive pressure. It paid off in the 88th minute when Corey Bradley ’10 made the final goal of his collegiate career off an assist by classmate Jamie Batista. Bradley was open in the box and after getting a pass from Batista, he knocked the ball […]
As the Judges return to the court after a record year last spring, the team seems ready for action. The women made it all the way to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Division III tournament for the first time in the program’s history, coming just short of the Final Four. Based on that performance […]
The Judges had a perfect week, shutting out both their opponents to finish off the regular season with a win and take the quarterfinal round of the Eastern Conference Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III New England Tournament. In Saturday’s game against UAA rival the New York University Violets, the Judges needed just one goal to […]
For about a year I have volunteered on Saturday afternoons at ACEing Autism, a non-profit organization that teaches tennis to young children with autism. When I first signed up for the program, I didn’t know anything about autism, but I thought that the idea of helping young children learn to play tennis sounded like a […]
Saturday afternoons seem to be a time for college kids to rest. Some people sleep right through it, or if they’re up early, they go do something fun with friends like a trip into the city or some time at the mall. For both the men’s and women’s Brandeis tennis teams, Saturday is a day […]
When people think of a catfight they tend to think of high school hallways, generally with someone shouting, “You took my boyfriend!” When they think of hair-pulling, a soccer field usually does not come to mind. Unfortunately, this was exactly what happened last week in the Mountain West Women’s Championship game between the Brigham Young […]
