  • For weeks students have protested the war in Gaza — now things are escalating

    For weeks students have protested the war in Gaza — now things are escalating
    May 1 2024
    From New York — to Illinois — to Los Angeles — encampments in support of Palestinians dot campuses across the country.

    And over the last couple of days the tension has only increased as police have intervened on several campuses, including Columbia University, UCLA and the University of Texas. Hundreds of protestors have been arrested.

    Pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses are growing in scope and intensity, and colleges are calling on law enforcement to help. Is it the right decision, and what happens next?

  • Judi Dench reflects on a career built around Shakespeare

    Judi Dench reflects on a career built around Shakespeare
    Apr 30 2024
    Dame Judi Dench has played everyone from the writer Iris Murdoch to M in the James Bond films. But among the roles the actress is most closely associated, are Shakespeare's heroines and some of his villians.

    Amongst those roles are the star-crossed lover Juliet, the comical Titania and the tragic Lady Macbeth. Now she's reflecting on that work, and Shakespeare's work in Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays The Rent.

    The book is comprised of Dench's conversations with her friend, the actor and director Brendan O'Hea.

    Today's college protests over the Gaza war echo history — but there are differences
    Apr 29 2024
    Protests against Israel's war in Gaza on college campuses have expanded across the country. They're the biggest student protests, since college students demonstrated against the Vietnam war in the late sixties and early seventies.

    What do the campus protests of today have in common with those of the sixties? How might they affect the policies of their universities and the US government?

    Thirty years ago, South Africa became an emblem of a multiracial democracy. Decades on, how is that legacy holding up?
