Is justice blind?: Few women in Indiana are appointed to high judiciary posts

October 8, 2007

Should it come as a surprise that the symbol for justice is a woman? “Well that is a symbol, but the reality is that it is still a male-dominated profession,” said Maria PabÃ³n LÃ³pez, an associate professor…

A&E: ‘Hamlet’ halved; a flute sans magic:

October 8, 2007

A&E ‘Hamlet’ halved; a flute sans magic This week, I empty the notebook on IRT’s truncated “Hamlet,” the Indianapolis Opera’s “The Magic Flute,” an iconoclastic singer/songwriter at the Egyptian Room and passion in Chicago.

October 1, 2007

Drug-coated stents, which are used to open clogged arteries, can be life savers-if they’re implanted correctly.

And we’ll forget that Belichick wasn’t so great a coach in Cleveland, where he was…
