Altaf Saadi
Not many Yalies were laughing at the posters, but not many gave them a second look, either. Plastering the campus, the anonymously posted images depicted the Prophet Muhammad in caricature, sword in one hand and severed head in the other. For Altaf Saadi ’08, the posters she saw as she left Spanish class on Nov. 15 wreaked havoc on the myth of Yale’s patented atmosphere of amity and acceptance.
Dining halls endure shortages
Produce trucks getting stuck in the snow. A romanesco crop ravaged by deer. For Yale Dining Services administrators, these problems are just business as usual.
Worth ‘Consideration’ but not awards
Christopher Guest has never been nominated for an Academy Award. This is not much of a shock — despite his central role in creating some of the funniest films of all time (he co-wrote “This is Spinal Tap” and co-wrote and directed “Best in Show” and “A Mighty Wind”), his movies have never radiated the aura of poignancy that tugs on the Academy’s heartstrings.

‘Catch a Fire’ glows first, but fizzles fast
“Catch a Fire” ignites a burning issue but never quells the flames. Though technically excellent, director Phillip Noyce (“Rabbit-Proof Fence,” “The Quiet American”) has crafted a film that fails to live up even to its own name.
Fellow explores N.Y. subway colors
Growing up in Brooklyn, R. Raleigh D’Adamo ’53 lived within a few hundred feet of five different New York transit lines and, almost by necessity, developed an interest in public transit.
Jewish leader decries anti-Semitism
A TV show about Jewish doctors stealing Muslim children’s body parts, a book called “The Torah of Satan,” and a photograph of a kindergartner paying homage to the murderer of Israeli soldiers were among the examples of anti-Semitism discussed by Charles Jacobs, founder and President of the David Project Center for Jewish Leadership, at an event sponsored by Yale Friends of Israel.
UOC argues for fiscal reform
Yalies walking through Beinecke Plaza at midday on Thursday witnessed a curious sight: a President Richard Levin doppelganger — albeit some decades younger — celebrating the University’s terrific endowment return.
