Justice Alito's Confirmation Is a Sign of Things to Come

March 30, 2006

Earlier this week, on January 31, Samuel A. Alito, Jr. was confirmed as the 110th Justice to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Despite his "well-qualified" rating from the American Bar Association, his distinguished fifteen-year career as a judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit, and a portfolio featuring numerous well-reasoned opinions, Alito's confirmation process was nasty and brutish, even if it was mercifully short.

As a victim of the Serbian attack on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo in 1998, she was fortunate compared to many. To her benefit, a well-trained, compassionate nurse wasted no time getting an IV started, a technique the child’s lifeless, hardened skin would likely reject.

Transformation: From Metal to Metaphysical

October 11, 2004

"You've got to be half mad to do this," said Bill Catling, APU Department of Art chair and professor, pulling on a silver jacket that closed in the back. With matching pants and a cylindrical helmet of the same material, Catling looks like he's going to the moon rather than the foundry behind the East Campus Art Center.

"We used to do this before we had safety equipment, wearing jean jackets and bandanas," said Catling.
