If music suddenly became something you could look at, what would it look like and why? It sounds like a simple question, but try describing it.

In response to Shane Krouse's article, "Fetus not living until it exits womb, born" (SN 2/8), I began to question my opinion on this timely debate.
Several of the letters have offended me in this overly drawn-out discussion of the morality of abortion sparked because of some cartoon I didn't even see.

Despite Friday's opening ceremonies for the Olympics being the most-watched program on NBC all year, the games have been losing popularity. The 22.8 million viewers that tuned in are only half the number that watched the events four years ago.

The two men responsible for keeping the peace in East Lansing have made it clear that when dealing with postgame revelers, tear gas will be a last resort. East Lansing police Chief Tom Wibert and MSU police Chief Jim Dunlap are in the midst of preparing for a potential riot should the MSU men's basketball team make a run deep into the NCAA tournament this March. On Tuesday, the MSU Celebrations Committee — charged with planning for such an event — got the first look at a new policy for the use of force that both police departments will follow when reacting to civil disturbances. The policy calls for increased face-to-face contact between police and celebrants, plainclothes officers to mingle in the crowd and single out troublemakers, and repeated attempts to break up crowds before riot gear or tear gas are even considered. No such agreement existed between the departments last April, when police fired hundreds of tear-gas canisters and pepper spray in an effort to disperse crowds that gathered in downtown East Lansing and the Cedar Village area following the basketball team's Final Four loss. "Essentially, the first line of defense for dealing with any crowd control situation will not be chemical munitions," Dunlap said.
State News sports reporters Eric Fish and Matt Bishop discuss Olympics and MSU hockey and basketball. How the United States will fare in men's Olympic hockey … Eric Fish: I think they'll do better than people expect them to do, but not as good as they could have if they would have kept John Grahame or Robert Esche at home and brought goaltender Ryan Miller instead. Even so, I like the American team, and I like how it's not being hyped up.
