The end of the year traditionally is a time of self-reflection,
when we take stock in our achievements and our failures and hope to
improve in the upcoming 12 months. Likewise, we, as Americans, tend
to evaluate the state of our nation. When the public needs to point
to a political body to laud or lament, no one is more scrutinized
than the president. In truth, while the president has the power and
influence to affect much policy in these areas, it's not entirely
his duty or responsibility.

It seems so long ago, but remember Bill Clinton? Love or hate
him, all of us speculated about his post-presidential future.
Youthful and savvy, we wondered what this man would do for an
encore after winning the ultimate political prize (following a
requisite stint on the lecture circuit and writing his memoirs)?
Some said movie executive, others a Congressional run and still
more speculated about a bid for mayor of New York City.

Almost a year ago, our nation decided between Texas Gov. George
W. Bush, viewed as a socially privileged, unintelligent candidate
with a morally questionable past, and Vice President Al Gore, seen
as booksmart, but distant and untrustworthy. A few hundred votes in
Florida and a court battle later, Dubya was sworn in, leaving many
questioning the fairness of the endgame and whether he could indeed
be an effective president.

This past week, panic erupted in Florida because of anthrax.
Anthrax obviously doesn't normally float around office buildings;
somebody has to put it there. The FBI has taken over the
investigation because criminal intent was most likely behind this
incident. Have we been attacked again? Maybe, but it's not
something to worry too much about.

The challenge of cookbooks is great:??They must both attract us
to a dish as something we want to create and at the same time make
it so that we are able to create it within time and financial
constraints. Some books are better at doing one than the other. The
ones that attract us with fancy food photography and lyrical prose
are often created by chefs at $50 a plate restaurants and usually
include complex and lengthy recipes; The books that are full of
simple recipes whose products are unimaginative lack flavor and
character. The outstanding cookbook does both.

Observers were quick to draw parallels between the Sept. 11
attacks and Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor. Perhaps instead of
looking at the beginning of World War II, we should focus on the
end. With the help of our allies, the United States dismantled the
vile fascist regimes of Germany and Japan, and through temporary
provisional governments and economic aid packages, namely the
Marshall Plan, rebuilt Japan and countries in Europe into vibrant,
self-regulating, democratic nations.

It is Friday, yet the week feels somehow incomplete. Time has
changed from an orderly concept to a jumble of images that quicken,
then suddenly halt and repeat over and over and over. America has
become quietly sullen. To wit, as the poet Dante shows us in the
fifth circle of his Inferno, remove moody silence and all that
remains is seething fury. Our sullenness is lifting, but unlike
those who are punished in the realm of the wicked, our wrath is not
innate. It is a specific reaction to a crime against America and
its people'against freedom and for all it stands.

In the past, UW-Madison has suffered from a lack of respect
undeserving of an institution of its caliber. True, Wisconsin has,
at least in the past 10 years, been considered one of the better
public universities in the country. Yes, UW-Madison has many
world-class departments containing faculty highly respected within
their fields. We currently receive more research funding than all
but two other universities and often raise the most money of any
public university. UW-Madison, however, has played second fiddle to
comparable private (Harvard, Stanford, Princeton) and public
(Michigan, California, Virginia) schools that enjoy more
prestigious reputations.

I got really excited when the popular food cart Buraka went
indoors last year. Y'all know the lines Buraka attracts during the
summer: at least 10 people anytime near lunch. This red cart has
become a welcome fixture for those of us hungry for hearty eastern
African dishes of meat, vegetables and rice.
