    Sunday, May 18, 2008 An HIV-positive man was sentenced to 35 years in prison Wednesday, one day after being convicted of harassment of a public servant for spitting into the eye and open mouth of a Dallas, Texas police officer in May 2006.

A Dallas County jury concluded that Willie Campbell's act of spitting on policeman Dan Waller in 2006 constituted the use of his saliva as a deadly wea

    John Reed on Orwell, God, self-destruction and the future of writing

    Thursday, October 18, 2007 It can be difficult to be John Reed. Christopher Hitchens called him a "Bin Ladenist" and Cathy Young editorialized in The Boston Globe that he "blames the victims of terrorism" when he puts out a novel like Snowball's Chance, a biting send-up of George Orwell's Animal Farm which he was inspired to write after the terrorist attacks on September 11. "The clear references to 9/11 in the apocalyptic ending can only bring Orwell's name into disrepute in the U.S.," wrote William Hamilton, the British literary executor of the Orwell estate. That pr

    Thursday, October 9, 2008 Zimbabwe's 4.5 million students will not receive what was once the golden standard of education in Africa—or any education at all this school year. Political violence during the country's recent presidential elections hit schools hard with strikes, murder and violence against teachers, and looting.

Now the country faces a second crisis due to economic troubles an
