In defense of all those longer books
By Molly Reppen and Sean Reichard | Sep. 25, 2013A few weeks ago I had a nearly all-consuming desire to reread “1Q84” by Haruki Murakami. The reason eluded me at first. I may have attributed it to the fact that Murakami is one of my favorites, whose books always find their way into the flux of my reading rushes. I may have attributed this to the fact that I had the privilege of reviewing it when it came out in 2011 for this very publication, and thus would have enjoyed both a book and a nostalgic experience. I may have attributed it to the fact that I rather liked “1Q84” and it was due for a reread anyway.

A media culture of moral passivity
By Adam Paris | Sep. 24, 2013It seems peculiarly coincidental. As Walter White’s story mercifully reaches its heart-palpation inducing finale, “Grand Theft Auto V” introduces a triumvirate of criminals ready to endear themselves to our sympathetic souls. Whether any of these characters are worthy of any misplaced adoration is another story. However, in the wake of Walter White’s defenders, even in these past few brutal weeks, examining the concept of passivity versus active participation in a madman’s activities seems pertinent.

‘Verses’ for all the unreadable books
By Sean Reichard | Sep. 18, 2013Last week, on a whim, I decided to start reading “The Satanic Verses” by Salman Rushdie. Though it has never been a book high on my “to read” list, I took the plunge when I chanced upon it in the library stacks.

Well that happened: Breaking down the events Saturday in Tempe, Ariz.

My mantic Molskine menagerie
By Sean Reichard | Sep. 10, 2013Toward the end of August, an idea dawned on me that I wish had dawned on me sooner, since it (in retrospect) seems so obviously beneficial, munificent, edifying, etc. Toward the end of August, I bought a wordbook at the bookstore.

Today, yesterday: A musical sea change
By Andrew Haffner and Sean Reichard | Sep. 8, 2013September 9th, 1543: High upon a craig sits Stirling Castle, in Stirling, Scotland. A site of importance to Scottish monarchs, this day bodes importance not only for Scotland but (later) England and the rest of the world as well. For it was on this day that Mary Stuart—at a wee nine months old—was crowned Mary, Queen of Scots. Mary, claimant to the throne of England, shuttered out by Elizabeth I, eventual execution victim.

Column: It's a Father-Son Thing
By Rex Sheild | Jun. 16, 2013I'm bad at giving gifts. Don't get me wrong, I'll always give gifts to my immediate family but I'll do it in the worst possible fashion. For Christmas, I'll usually give my sisters money out of my wallet the morning of, while giving my parents a gift card of their choice. With this being said, the most economically efficient gift I could give to my dad this Father's Day is through my column.

Column: Reflecting on three years of covering Badger hoops, football
By Max Sternberg and Tom Walsh | May. 3, 2013When I came to Wisconsin as a transfer student after spending a year at UCLA, one of the first things I tried to do was find a way to experience college athletics in a different way from that of the average student fan. I had been involved either on or off the field in sports for my entire life and didn’t want to cut that off because I was facing a bigger stage. But even I have to admit when I walked into the Cardinal office in September 2010 looking for an opportunity to cover the Badgers, there is no way I could have imagined the next three years playing out as they did.

Column: Coaches’ verbal and physical abuse need to come to an end
By Rex Sheild | May. 2, 2013The player-coach relationship is an interesting one if you take a look at the longevity of it in the realm of college athletics. You have coaches like UCLA’s John Wooden, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, North Carolina’s Dean Smith and Alabama’s Nick Saban who stand at the pinnacle of this relationship and reflect the qualities of character, equality and hard work, and the list goes on and on.

Column: To my good friend Aly, who was taken from the world far too soon
By Rex Sheild | Apr. 25, 2013“Cancer can take away all my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart and it cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever.” Those words were famously spoke by the late Jim Valvano during his 1993 ESPY speech and were proudly carried out by Aly throughout her life.
