Prosecutors drop Kobe Bryant case; Civil action still pending against Lakers star

By Alyson Brodsy and Jon Sarche · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 1 a.m.

EAGLE, Colo. -- The criminal case against Kobe Bryant case collapsed Wednesday as prosecutors said they had no choice but to drop the sexual assault charge because the NBA star's accuser no longer wanted to participate. Bryant, whose trial had been days from opening arguments, responded with an apology to the woman who had accused him and whose civil suit for damages is still pending.

Mr. Morley blitzkriegs Europe, Part 2

By Brandon S Morley · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 1 a.m.

We traversed the French plains to the center of Bohemian life -- gay Paris. The first thing most people envision when they think of Paris is the Eiffel Tower. Built in 1889, it is still the tallest structure in Paris and was the tallest in the world until the Empire State Building was constructed.

Freedom as propaganda

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:59 a.m.

After Rudy Giuliani's speech Tuesday night, a PBS reporter on the convention floor asked a woman from Iowa 's delegation what she found effective about Giuliani's speech. Her first answer was a gloss over the oratorical greatness of the former mayor. Luckily, the reporter pushed deeper and asked what "specifically" did he say that struck her. Smiling and clapping in cadence with each word, she answered "Freedom, freedom, freedom!"

Perfecting the most important meal of the day

By Brittany Terwilliger · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:57 a.m.

Because of the small percentage of restaurants in Bloomington open during the morning hours, a good breakfast in this town is a precious commodity. The Runcible Spoon, a Bloomington staple since 1976 that changed ownership in 2001, gives the most important meal of the day plenty of justice. There is no substitute for co-owner and chef Matt O'Neil's grainy made-from-scratch pancakes, accented with an ever-so-slight hint of cinnamon and topped with pure maple syrup.

IU's art administration masters program offers hands-on experience in management to participating students

By Jenica Schultz · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:56 a.m.

Behind the scenes of every great opera, Broadway production or museum exhibit, someone is pulling the right strings to make the event happen. Beyond the costumes, make-up and lights, someone sits calculating ticket sales and strategizing audience development and marketing techniques. Without the arts administrators who work diligently behind the scenes, none of what is seen on a stage or in a gallery could be possible.

Chipotle comes to Kirkwood

By Joetta Hinton · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:50 a.m.

The Kirkwood McDonald's was once a place to enjoy a quick meal and to meet friends or family. Then the restaurant closed its doors, boarded up the windows and turned off the lights for good, leaving only the picnic tables in the front.

Rock it, Rap it, Vote or Die

By Melanie Sims · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:32 a.m.

I will not "Rock the Vote" this year. And you know why? It's because "rocking" the vote is so 1990, and on top of that, I'm more of a hip-hop kind of chick. Sure, I thought -- whatever, I'll just "Rap the Vote" with Alicia Keys and Cornell West instead. But before I could get online to register, I found myself at a dead-end on the information highway. The Web site was down.

Conventional problems

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:29 a.m.

I'm trying -- honestly trying -- to watch the Republican National Convention on television without falling asleep or hanging myself, but I admit it's really difficult. It's not the politics driving me crazy; the Democratic Convention in Boston was equally grueling and annoying, but I didn't watch it on television. I only managed to make it through, I think, because I was there, on the ground with a reporter's notebook. The first week of classes has delegated me to my apartment's sofa for the Grand Old Party's get-down in New York.

I want to be Van Wilder

By Lori Geller · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:23 a.m.

Monday was my official last first day of school. That's right, in eight months, I will no longer be an IU student. I will be an IU alumna -- and that's scary. I should be happy to graduate and move to the next chapter of my life, but bidding goodbye to IU will probably be the hardest thing I'll ever have to do.

Home is where the vote is

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:17 a.m.

Across America, cities are discouraging or prohibiting students from voting in their university towns. Absentee voting is student voting, they're trying to tell us. But when we spend nine months out of the year in our college town, where do we cast our vote (not to mention hang our hats)?

A 'Hero' for late summer doldrums

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12 a.m.

Throw "Rahomon" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" into a blender, hit puree and what do you get?: "Hero," the 2002 offering from Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou (best known for beautifully-crafted character pieces such as "Raise the Red Lantern," "Shanghai Triad" and "The Road Home").

'Anacondas' a guilty pleasure

By Amy Hamblen · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12 a.m.

Does "Anacondas" incorporate an intricate plot with stellar acting and dynamic special effects? No, but there are some really big snakes.

I'm going to have to ask you all to dig in deep now. Close your eyes, take a gigantic deep breath and look deep into the corners of your soul.
