Today's word on journalism

May 8, 2008

Liberal Patriot:

"Molly Ivins was an unabashed patriot, and it drove right-wingers nuts. Conservatives somehow got it fixed in their brains that patriotism meant being in lockstep with their ideology, that dissent was treason. Molly made a career of reminding them otherwise, always careful to point out how cute they were when they acted like fools."

--Gary Cartwright, senior editor, Texas Monthly, 2007. Molly Ivins (1944-2007), a sharp-witted and clear-eyed columnist who died of cancer last year, was an unapologetic liberal. She once observed, "There's nothing you can do about being born liberal -- fish gotta swim and hearts gotta bleed."

USU to stage ‘King Lear’

April 10, 2008 | Adrianne Moore, professor of acting and directing in the department of theatre arts at Utah State University and production director, said "King Lear" is one of Shakespeare’s most accessible plays.

"The stakes are high — sons and daughters betray their fathers, an old man’s eyes are gorged out, another old man is turned out of doors in a hurricane, a man kills his brother to avenge a wrong, a jealous woman murders her sister, and a man abandons his child," Moore said.

All that, and more, can be seen when King Lear takes the Morgan stage in the Chase Fine Arts Center (approximately 1110 E. 610 North, Logan) on the USU campus April 10-12 and 16-19. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are available by calling (435) 797-8022, and are on sale now. Prices range from $6 to $10; with Utah State University students attending free with valid I.D. Educational group rates are available by calling (435) 797-1500. Children under the age of 6 are not admitted.
