Joe Kind: A Guy

By Joe Kind | April 5, 2016

This first week of the spring term featured discussions of spring break activities in all their predictable forms. Across campus, sun-kissed faces exchange tales of adventures and extravagances.

History professor Udi Greenberg wins book award

By Carter Brace | April 4, 2016

History professor Udi Greenberg’s own family history helps to explain why he chose his field of study. His grandparents were refugees from Nazi Germany who fled to South Africa. In the process, his family went from racially persecuted Jews under the Nazis to elite whites under the apartheid regime. His parents, objecting to the racism in South Africa, then left for Israel. Growing up in Israel, Greenberg himself never thought of himself as white, as race was not talked about because people mostly divided themselves by religion, he said.

‘10 Cloverfield Lane’ dissects nuclear family, then goes nuclear

By Andrew Kingsley | April 4, 2016

After the success of the hand-held, alien invasion blockbuster “Cloverfield” in 2008, producer J. J. Abrams shaped its blood relative “10 Cloverfield Lane” (2016) to exist in the same apocalyptic universe. But the film seems patently devoid of aliens; rather they are a backdrop or suggestion, and what we get instead is a tight, chamber thriller in which alienation becomes the central horror.

Just a Bit Outside: The Cubs are favored

By Sam Stockton | April 3, 2016

It may seem strange for a kid from D.C. to grow up a fan of the Chicago Cubs. In the summer before I started first grade while visiting my grandparents in Chicago, my grandfather took my brother and me to Wrigley Field. In the top of the fourth inning, Luis Gonzalez, of 2001 World Series fame, drove a foul ball down the right field line that glanced off my forehead.
