Letters to the Editor

Slavery cartoon To the Editor: A recent cartoon, drawn by artist Abdi Farah, ("Opinion Art," DP, 11/6/06) depicts Uncle Sam and a college professor, accompanied by a chained African American slave, glaring at Amy Gutmann. Uncle Sam points and says, "We knew the always progressive Penn would eventually support terrorism!" In the forefront, Amy Gutmann stands confidently, while a benevolent Ben Franklin comes to her defense.

Sharon Udasin | It's time to make performing arts a priority

Letters to the Editor

Wrongly associated To the Editor: I've followed with increasing distress your coverage of the Halloween party photographs with your president, Amy Gutmann ("Critics demand Gutmann atone," DP, 11/9/06). My distress has nothing to do with the photographs, offensive though they are, but rather with the continuing suggestion and innuendo that President Gutmann is sympathetic to terrorism or to Muslim extremism.

Michelle Dubert | Two jokes, two reactions

Few people complain at constant Jew-bashing in 'Borat,' yet Saad Saadi's Halloween costume draws fiery criticism.

Editorial | A bright spot for justice

Some semblance of sanity finally returned to the Tracy McIntosh trial this week. The former Neurology professor and convicted sex offender had - up until this point - gotten away with his crimes with little more than a slap on the wrist. After promising to show the niece of his friend around the Penn area, McIntosh took the 23-year-old to various local bars and then back to his office, where he allegedly raped her.

Elizabeth Song | When it comes to animal testing, red tape isn't all bad

After a video showed horrific animal-testing experiments 20 years ago, Penn and others have cleaned up their acts.
