Stopping at the fork in the road for the Bucket game

By Matt Dollinger · Thursday, Nov. 15,2007 10:58 p.m.

It’s been a long time since the Hoosiers played a “must-see game.” But if you’re in Bloomington on Saturday and not inside Memorial Stadium, I feel bad for you. Stop talking about Eric Gordon for 48 hours. This weekend belongs to the football team.

IU alumna Meg Cabot to release latest book Tuesday

By Allie Townsend · Thursday, Nov. 15,2007 9:23 p.m.

After nearly 50 books, New York Times bestselling-author Meg Cabot is at it again. Her well-known series “The Princess Diaries” made a splash at the box office with every teenage girl’s favorite royal Princess Mia, but tiaras will be taking a backseat in Cabot’s new novel “Big Boned.”

Impossible promises

By Jacob Levin · Thursday, Nov. 15,2007 9:15 p.m.

It’s pretty simple, really. I’d like increased government spending, I just don’t want higher taxes. I want all bad things ended immediately, and the number of good things to increase 10-fold. Also, I should really mention that I want to feel safe – all the time. But I don’t want my civil liberties encroached upon, and I don’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Take back Assembly Hall

By Michael Duncan · Thursday, Nov. 15,2007 9:13 p.m.

Curing Sicko

By Rama Sobhani · Thursday, Nov. 15,2007 5:21 p.m.

Fort Wayne resident Maria Parra doesn’t have health insurance. Even though she graduated from IU with a Masters in Business Administration, the 51-year-old information technology contractor has high blood pressure and cannot afford to pay $500 a month for insurance. Parra and the other 47 million uninsured people in the U.S. are the reason that Hoosiers for a Commonsense Health Plan and several other local organizations have taken to the road as part of the HealthCare Now! Sicko National Road Show bus tour. As part of the group’s goal to encourage legislators to co-sponsor House Resolution 676, a bill designed to reform health care in the U.S., the bus tour stopped in Bloomington on Wednesday for a rally outside the Monroe County Courthouse.
