So I walked around campus to do some soul searching when I saw a sign -- actually several signs. Basketball Camp. Soccer Camp. Wrestling Camp.

End the horror in Sudan

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, July 7,2004 9:10 p.m.

Anticipating the Cure's self-titled new release, the first original composition since 2000's Bloodflowers, which vocalist/guitarist Robert Smith insisted at the time was the finale of the band's arduous 25-year musical journey, I found much more disappointment that excitement at the uninventive 11-song album.
