Getting the run around

Wednesday, June 18,2003 8:34 p.m.

The Herald Times ran a peculiar article June 15. An IU student was dropped off at home after a night of drinking and partying and woke up to find her male acquaintance raping her. She insisted he stop, but he didn't. After he was gone, she called the Bloomington Police Department and he was arrested within a few hours. He admitted to the crime -- in a videotaped confession -- and a short time later, the Office of the Monroe County Prosecutor Carl Salzmann dismissed the case, citing a lack of evidence.

Gilliam's truly 'Lost in La Mancha'

By -Alec Toombs · Wednesday, June 18,2003 8:19 p.m.

Perry Gilliam is a director of immense skill. Churning out works of sheer brilliance ("Brazil," "The Fisher King" and "12 Monkeys"), or at the very least flawed yet fascinating filmmaking i.e. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" -- the man's a master (albeit a strange one) of his field. That's part of what's so disheartening about "Lost in La Mancha," the documentary chronicling the rise and fall of Gilliam's Don Quixote-themed dream project.
