Drug testing

Dartmouth student Lindsay Earls loses in her appeal to the Supreme Court over mandatory drug-testing for participants in extracurricular activites. The Court was split 5-4, with Justices Thomas, Rehnquist, Scalia, Kennedy, and Breyer in the majority.

Writing for the dissenters, Justice Ginsburg fears that the policy "invades the privacy of students who need deterrence least and risks steering students at greatest risk for substance abuse away from extracurricular involvement that potentially may palliate drug problems."

"This policy reasonably serves the school district�s important interest in detecting and preventing drug use among its students, we hold that it is constitutional," wrote Justice Thomas for the majority.

On flattery

Mr. Joshi might note that most of the reportage in TDR's "The Week in Review" concerns Dartmouth and local goings-on.

It's hard work to cover a small community intelligently. On the other hand, taking pot-shots at those with which one has political disagrements is pretty easy (oh, those silly, murderous Israelies!).

Mel Brooks remarked that "Tragedy is if I get a paper cut on my finger. Comedy is if you fall in an open sewer and die." In that sense, Mr. Joshi, your columns are uproarious.

'Roided Up

Tatum O'Neal says that her ex-husband John McEnroe took steroids during his tennis career. Does she honestly think anyone would believe this?

The sincerest form of flattery

The ever-creative Hemant Joshi has a column in today's D called the Week in Review. Of course it's not that funny, but after all it's really hard to compete his all his fine work of the past, especially that "Piccolos Save Lives" article where he took a Review article and replaced the word guns with the word piccolos. Funny stuff. Note to the summer Review staff: you had better put out some summer issues or else our boy Hemant won't have anything about which to write (after all, how many George Bush coloring book jokes can you make?).
