Letters to the editor

By Alyson Brodsy and Jordan River Forum · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Live simply, happily like peace campers In response to Glen Carson's letter ("Peace camp tents should come down," Feb. 8), I want to applaud Glen's attention toward the "unsanitary conditions" he observed while walking past the Peace Camp outside the IMU. I also applaud his virtuosic knowledge of the U.S. military's dedication to "defending our rights," in Glen's own words. Bravo, Glen, you know, if it weren't for the military folks blowing up people living in "unsanitary conditions" around the world, then the awful possibility that the industrialized world might have to live sustainably might actually come true.

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Only 13 points for Jared Jeffries is usually reason to panic. Just look at what happened at Minnesota when he managed only seven points and one made field goal.

War reporting 'intense' but perilous, say journalists

By David Enders · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Since the war in Afghanistan began in October, journalists from around the world have risked their lives to feed an increased appetite for news from the region. "It's pretty disorienting at first. It's the most intense thing I know," Sebastian Junger said. Junger spent time traveling with Northern Alliance troops in Afghanistan in November for an article in the February issue of Vanity Fair. Junger was also in Ann Arbor, Mich., Saturday promoting his book, "Fire." Junger said the case of Robert Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter apparently being held hostage in Pakistan, is a good example of the unpredictability of reporting from unstable areas.

To run or not to run?

By Alyson Brodsy and Nic Halverson · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

We arrived in Pamplona with nothing but the shirts on our backs. No suitcases, no back packs, and certainly no cameras. Our philosophy was "the less we had, the better." We just shoved what little money we had deep into our pockets and hoped it was enough to last us a few days amidst the hedonism and paganism that roars through Pamplona every July during a little fiesta called San Fermin, otherwise known to the world as "the Running of the Bulls."
