Shirin Ebadi

First and foremostly, I hope everyone had a really spectacular break. As a warmup to the upcoming semester I'd like to point out a recent post by Charles Johnson about a movie he recently saw titled Persepolis. Nominated for the Golden Globes and Independent Spirit Award, Persepolis documents the Islamic Revolution through the eyes of a young Iranian girl.

Not only should readers of the blog watch the movie for its excellence and documentation of a humanitarian struggle, but we should all strive to see Shirin Ebadi, a Nobel laureate (2003) coming to the Athenaeum in April--or we can atleast get excited.

Thus, again, I am very excited for next week to come. Lets make this a wonderfully active, party-line crossing, action-making, objective and effective semester!
