Democracy undercut by Supreme Court TV

By Marcie Benson | Feb. 18, 2007

Imagine a saucy new reality television show featuring nine people forced to work together making major decisions about hot-button issues of our country.

Winslet shows us life’s ‘little’ miseries

By Eric R. Schmidt | Feb. 18, 2007

Located on Williamson Street in the heart of Madison's artsy coffee-shop neighborhood, the Broom Street Theater has had a reputation since 1968 of putting on original shows with radical subject matter. The theater has a long history of facing government opposition to putting a radical theater in Madison, but managed to stay afloat—keeping alive its mission to make sure no idea will ever be off-limits and to guarantee society's norms can always be challenged.

The major way to figure people out

By Julia Shiplett | Feb. 18, 2007

I've made a discovery. If there's one way to find out what another student's major is, it's to casually mention, ""Gee, I'm not feeling too good, I think I'm coming down with something [cough, cough]."" Wait f'
