Drugs are expensive. Developing countries need drugs not only to
address raging HIV/AIDS epidemics, but also to fight epidemics of
malaria, tuberculosis, and various childhood diseases. But, forced
by international intellectual property rights agreements to allow
major commercial pharmaceutical corporations exclusive production
rights, the cost of those drugs can make them unavailable.

Immigration advocates were dealt a major blow March 27. The
basic human rights allotted to all workers in the United States
were stripped away from undocumented immigrants. The U.S. Supreme
Court decided that undocumented workers do not have the right to
free association in unions or protection against employers that
violate labor laws. In a 5-4 decision, the court set the precedent
that if a business fires a worker for union activities, or anything
else for that matter, an undocumented worker is not entitled to
equal protection under the law.

The Bush White House released its $2.13 trillion budget Tuesday.
President Bush's plan weakens America's public infrastructure while
further bloating corporate welfare payouts. Bush's budget sends the
government into the red for the first time in four years, with a
$106 billion deficit this year alone. The White House wants you to
believe that Sept. 11 is the cause of the budget shortfall, but the
real culprit is Republican tax cuts totaling $501 billion dollars.
The vast majority of these tax benefits will singularly profit
corporations and upper-income families.

For many centuries now the internecine conflicts that plague the
history of Islam and the West have ingrained misperceptions in
Western minds. The question of what Muslims really believe and how
they practice their faith has never been an important one to most
people. However, after recent events, this attitude seems to be
changing. The American conscience has awakened to the reality of
the Muslim presence in America. To that end, I will attempt to
outline the \five pillars"" of the Islamic faith, considered by
most to be the major foundations of the Islamic identity.

In 1895, Professor Wilhelm Roentgen discovered a strange new
type of radiation. After some experimentation, he had his wife put
her hand between a cathode ray tube and a piece of
radiation-sensitive paper, and found that he could readily see the
shadow of her wedding ring and of the bones in her hand. He called
the mysterious radiation an X-ray, from the mathematical use of X
to stand for an unknown, and so began the science of medical
imaging.

In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks and the subsequent start of
the war effort being waged, emotions have been high on college
campuses. Self-appointed \progressive peace coalitions"" have
spoken out against the U.S. campaign, decrying it as an act of
aggression against the weak. This all presupposes an idea: that war
is inherently unprogressive. To better understand the state the
world is in, we must re-examine some ideas, and, from a liberal
perspective, ask the question: Is war inherently unprogressive and
is peace always the right choice?
