IU Angles

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, July 24,2005 10:26 p.m.

Most informed pundits believed that President Bush would select a well-qualified -- albeit conservative -- woman to succeed retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. But the president surprised nearly everyone with his nomination of federal Judge John Roberts Jr. This was a brilliant move on Bush's part, which justly deserves the admiration of political professionals, regardless of their partisan leanings.

My dog is a liberal

By Alyson Brodsy and Lindsay Kerrigan · Sunday, July 24,2005 9:54 p.m.

My dog is a liberal. Cut her some slack. We come from a broken home -- my mother is a Democrat and my father is a Republican. It's really been very hard on us all. Audrey -- a Jack Russell Terrier named for my hero, Audrey Hepburn, is one of those dogs who thinks she's human (kind of like those liberals who think they are gods).

Music, culture of Silk Road dazzles audience

By Lisa Braverman · Sunday, July 24,2005 9:54 p.m.

Imamyar Hasanov shook his head from side to side as he concentrated on the music he was playing. He was not the slightest bit angry -- in fact, he seemed to be passionately agreeing with something that was not being said. His music pierced through the air; it was music that shot chills down your spine.

As the July 31 MLB trade deadline approaches, the annual exchange of minor league prospects for veteran players will commence.

New exhibit highlights fashion changes, meanings

By Katie Peck · Sunday, July 24,2005 9:19 p.m.

Fashion is everywhere -- in television ads, in magazines and newspapers and on the internet. As times change, so does the style of clothing that people wear. What was considered to be "in style" or fashionable in 1930 is no longer what the public wants to wear. Looking back over a century and examining the style trends is an interesting way to look at just how much a culture can change.

By Alyson Brodsy and Alvin Henry · Sunday, July 24,2005 9:17 p.m.

Was it just me or was President George W. Bush's speech at the Black Expo rather quick, unemotional and impersonal? The African Americans at the event a couple weeks ago deserved much better.

Crashing Canseco

By Alyson Brodsy and Russell Puntenney · Sunday, July 24,2005 9:16 p.m.

Jose Canseco on the new season of "Surreal Life"? The premise behind the VH1 reality show is placing seven once-popular celebrities in the same house, years removed from the height of their popularity, and watching the mayhem ensue. There have been exceptions to this formula, including models and "Real World" cast members (some of which appear so soon after their "Real World" experiences they might as well have moved from one house to the other), but all have been justified because they were never very popular to begin with. But Jose Canseco?

By Carrie Ritchie · Sunday, July 24,2005 9:11 p.m.

Buying textbooks is usually the bane of back-to-school shopping for college students. Every year, students spend hundreds of dollars on books that they may hardly ever use, only to get paid back half of the cost of their books upon returning them.
