The Mazda RX8
Friday, January 22nd, 2010There are few things in our lives that can really substitute for something else. Some people try to find a way to make up for things that they lack, and some find a way to do that for others.

10 artists that shaped the decade of music
Friday, January 22nd, 2010It isn’t easy to look back on the 2000s without feeling like you were asked to recall every George W. Bush joke you heard in the last ten years.

Amicus America
Friday, January 22nd, 2010Friends, I have so enjoyed writing for you these last three years. Next quarter I will write for The Christian Science Monitor in Boston; in my last quarter here, I’d like to discuss political philosophy.
Letter to the Editor
Friday, January 22nd, 2010Why was Principia College football cancelled? After last week’s meeting, I’m still not exactly sure. In fact, I may be even more confused. On Dec. 1, when the announcement was made, it stated that the administration was unable to “identify both a fully qualified head coach and the proper number of student-athletes with football experience.”
