We continue to respect our heritage/amorous affair with our mother-magazine, The Blue & White by posting each issue of the magazine online. The latest issue, available this week around campus, is a cornucopia of delights: an interview with Dean Peter Awn; the quixotic quest for a Quidditch team; and a reflection on Columbia’s recent media malaise. In this month’s cover story, the magazine […]

In case you missed it, Obama announced the death of Osama Bin Laden in a speech last night. (NYTimes) Thousands gathered last night at Ground Zero and all over New York City to celebrate the news. (ABC, Metro, TPM, NYTimes) The NYPD are on high alert in fear of retaliation. (Village Voice) In a short […]
Students across campus are rejoicing over the news that Osama bin Laden is dead. Cheers and shouting were coming from John Jay, and there were cries of “USA! USA!” within Butler. Obama is supposed to address the nation imminently, but good luck getting any website to load, so keep an eye on the just addressed […]
