It's like a bad dream - Michigan, Ohio State and Wisconsin, again. In control of their own destiny, (that meaning a possible Rose Bowl trip) the MSU football team has, for the second straight season, let things slip away in its most crucial three-game stretch.

The 2001 film, from French director Eric Rohmer, is about one woman's attempt to stay alive amid the rampant violence against the French aristocracy during the late 1700s. The story is based on the memoirs of Grace Elliot, a Scottish woman living in Paris during the revolution.
Lyrics by Attorney General John Ashcroft: "Let the eagle soar/Let it soar like she's never soared before/From rocky coast to golden shore/Let the mighty eagle soar." Lyrics by The State News: "With you clutched tightly/ in her mighty talons/taking you far, far away/from any position/of civil service."

Andréa Minella's letter, "Abortion cases not always clear issues" (SN 11/8) is nonfactual and an attempt at portraying those who oppose her view as being unsympathetic, specifically toward women. First of all, abortion is a very cruel means of ending a life.
Cameraless, filmless photography - an odd way to describe photographic work, but local artist Kim Kauffman has made this method her own. This way of photographic imaging could be compared to an extremely complicated photogram with a digital edge.
