Okay, I must admit to my infatuation with the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald and the high culture which he often described with tantalizing detail – hence, the title. But my words here should not appeal solely to those persons who wish that they could count Amory Blaine and Nick Carraway among their friends.

Due to the underage pregnancy of Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, the issue of teenage pregnancy was a more prominent issue in this election than in any previous one.

I get a sympathetic response from my friends when I talk about my relationship with my parents. Growing up, video games and television were virtually non-existent in my household.

If nothing else, former-Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas practices what he preaches. Standing in front of an auditorium at Brown University, where a recent Brown Daily Herald poll found that 86.1% of students support Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, Huckabee proclaimed that he enjoys talking to people who are his polar opposites.

You may have seen the billboard hovering above Route 95. “Rhode Islanders, Had Enough? Do Something About It,” instructs the opening advertisement for Transform Rhode Island, a recently launched organization that aims to bolster reform efforts through a strategy of communication.

David Horowitz’s recent advertisement in The Brown Daily Herald is not my first encounter with his brand of argument. As Joshua Unseth ‘09 pointed out on BrownIvy.com (a conservative blog I adamantly invite the reader to peruse), Horowitz published in the Herald several years ago ten reasons why slave reparations were a bad idea.
