Le Dernier Cri

By Claire Burke · Tuesday, Oct. 30,2007 10:07 p.m.

I am one of those people who holds onto everything. Notes from past classes, old magazines, trinkets from childhood and old clothing fill up my room and my closet. It is this hoarding of old clothing that is puzzling me. Why do I keep clothes that I will never wear again? Wouldn’t it be better to donate them to someone who needs them more or simply throw them out?

He is 59 and has been in the company of presidents for nearly 50 years. He is tall and bearded, with a home full of history and a head crammed with names, like boxes in an overstuffed closet ready to tumble out.

What is art?

By Ryan Brown · Wednesday, Oct. 24,2007 11:09 p.m.

The first time I heard those enchanting lyrics, “Watch me crank dat Soulja Boy, then Superman dat ho,” I was drawn to an obvious conclusion that a lot of us see about modern rap – that it is self-righteous, nihilistic and misogynistic. But for a reason I couldn’t explain at the time the song was first released, I downloaded the song and couldn’t stop listening to it, often closing the curtains in order to perfect the moves that go along with Soulja Boy’s smash hit.
