Drag queens strut their stuff at Read today

By Sarah Brubeck · Wednesday, Nov. 14,2007 11:03 p.m.

Drag queens are often perceived as only men dressing up as women for a show, but a program called “Viva la Viva: Identity or Art” will come to campus today to tell of an alternate meaning of what it means to be a drag queen.

Symbolic silliness

By Johnathan P. Rossing and Jonathan P. Rossing · Wednesday, Nov. 14,2007 11:02 p.m.

The “n-word” has experienced a turbulent year. New York City banned the word in February, and in July the NAACP held a public burial for the word complete with coffin and headstone in a Detroit cemetery. Now the word has been exiled from the nation’s second-largest city. Last Friday, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved a resolution that symbolically banned the “n-word.”

IU professor discusses identity theft in new book

By Jeremy Rosenthal · Wednesday, Nov. 14,2007 11:01 p.m.

A person gets stopped for a minor traffic violation and upon examining records, the police officer on duty determines that the person is a wanted criminal, arrests him and sends him to jail. This seems logical, unless this person is not a criminal, but a victim of identity theft.

The king and I

By Tristan Reitz · Wednesday, Nov. 14,2007 11 p.m.

It is not often that I find myself glad several European countries have monarchs, but this week the monarchy system proved itself worthy. In an act of diplomacy that only a monarch could provide, King Juan Carlos, the symbolic head of the Spanish state, told Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to – and I quote – “Shut up.”

Standing in solidarity

Wednesday, Nov. 14,2007 10:59 p.m.

Early this week, tens of thousands of university students in Venezuela used the power of mass marching to have their voices heard, protesting the planned constitutional changes that would expand President Hugo Chavez’s power in ways previously outlawed by the country’s constitution. The students not only marched in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, but also in at least six other cities around the country, in perhaps one of the strongest demonstrations of genuine public outcry in the country’s history.

By Aaron Beard · Wednesday, Nov. 14,2007 10:20 p.m.

Bob Melvin and Eric Wedge barely made a ripple as players. Backup catchers, they both batted a pedestrian .233 in the big leagues. All that time spent pondering on the bench paid off. Far more successful in the dugout than on the field, they were honored Wednesday as managers of the year.

By Aaron Beard · Wednesday, Nov. 14,2007 10:19 p.m.

After a summer of lawsuits and tabloid headlines, the New York Knicks wanted to get back to basketball. So much for that plan. The team fined Stephon Marbury more than $180,000 after he blew off Tuesday night’s game against Phoenix, the latest clash between the disgruntled point guard and coach Isiah Thomas.

Peyton Manning’s masterpiece

By Ben Homrig · Wednesday, Nov. 14,2007 10:17 p.m.

When Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, he did more than inspire a controversial book that spawned a horrible Tom Hanks film. He imbedded into our culture one of the most famous facial expressions the world has ever seen. Da Vinci’s perfect use of light colors and contrasting shadows on Mona Lisa’s face mesh together perfectly with her emotionless smile, creating a masterpiece.
