Perspective: D3 Sports Emphasizes Community
Yago Colás, Professor of English
What I really wanted was the t-shirt. At least, that is what I told myself. After all, I’m not a football fan. I haven’t been to a game in person in over a decade, and I could count the number of games I’ve watched on TV in the same period on one hand. I don’t hate the sport.

Successful King Adaptation “It” Combines Horror, Heart
Christian Bolles, Editor-in-Chief
It’s the great cinematic whodunit of the past few years: who killed mainstream horror?
