COMMENTARY
Worthless war
On Tuesday, President Bush reminded Americans of the oath he took to uphold the Constitution and defend the great democratic experiment born nearly 227 years ago. But the commander in chief is dangerously close to faulting in his duties and destroying the American dream. If the president pre-emptively orders an invasion of Iraq and implements American military rule in that country for any period of time, he will have effectively helped the United States become everything it fought against for freedom more than two centuries ago.

Sights and sounds of a world at war
In times of war, few aspects of society remain untouched. From music to movies to prime-time news, the way we view life and how we express ourselves undergo dramatic changes. The evolution of music into a form of political expression was solidified in the Vietnam War era, as artists took up their instruments to inspire and motivate. News coverage of conflict has come a long way from the spotty radio broadcasts of the 1940s, the body counts on the nightly news during the 1960s to the video-gamelike broadcasts during the first Gulf War. As Bush's 48-hour deadline looms ever larger on the horizon, our senses are flooded with sights and sounds of the changing world around us. Thirty-four years ago, musicians, artists, pop culture icons and concerned citizens gathered on a farm in rural New York to speak out against war and promote peace through music.

Nintendo goes high-tech with new Game Boy
There's a saying on "Good things come in small packages." Although that's not always true, Nintendo makes it certain this time around with its newly redesigned Game Boy Advance SP, which launches in North America Sunday. No bigger than a folded dollar bill when closed (though it is 1 inch thicker), this little gizmo is truly a tiny work of art. Not only does the SP make it the first truly portable Game Boy because of its compact size thanks to a flip-screen design, but Nintendo has also thrown in a number of other new features that really make it "shine" above anything the company - or its competitors has put out before. People can now slip the SP into a pocket and take it anywhere without scratching the screen.
