…Rice delved into a discussion of pivotal points of foreign policy she influenced while in office — namely the war in Iraq. She acknowledged the controversial nature of the decision and conceded that policies were largely influenced by the context of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. “We were a lot more on edge about what could happen by the time of the Iraq evasion than we would have prior to 9/11,” Rice said. “I wish the intelligence w...…
…ILLUSTRATION COURTESY OF THE AUTHOR When you miss the dining hall hours, delivery apps are there for you. Scrolling through sandwiches, burritos and pizzas, I decided to go for dumplings today. Everything was fine until I received the plastic bag from the delivery man, who then put his hands together and said “xiexie.” First, I’m Korean, not Chinese. Just because I’m Asian and I ordered dumplings doesn’t make me Chinese. And second...…

…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Arts Monday, October 7, 2019 — 5A “You can never publish my love,” Rogue Wave chants, in the song that the title of this series riffs on. Maybe that’s true, and we can never quite account for our love on paper or in print, but we sure can try. That’s what this series is devoted to: publishing our love. Us, the Arts section of The Michigan Daily, talking about artists and their work, some of the peop...…
…6A — Monday, October 7, 2019 The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Arts Lately I’ve been haunted by Her’s. The haunting started at second 28 of their Paste Studio’s Performance; there’s this seamless moment of chemistry when the duo leans forward, synchronizing their body movement. The unity of their oscillation is both serious and full of jest. Stephen Fitzpatrick takes on a Donald Duck-like nature in his voice while Audun Laading (bas...…
…SPORTSMONDAY The Michigan Daily | michigandaily.com | October 7, 2019 Jim Harbaugh felt no need to wait for questions. Walking into the press room Saturday afternoon, he had a “special guest” beside him and a message to deliver. The “special guest” was junior cornerback Ambry Thomas, a man who he introduced with a few laudatory sentences.

So, I guess there were never any plans to be subtle. That’s somehow both fitting and ironic, and it can fill both boxes because the Venn Dia- gram of gays and sports is usually just two circles ...…
…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com SportsMonday October 7, 2019 — 3B Michigan’s OL and what could have been As Michigan’s offense stalled to a halt on Saturday, prompting worry and disbelief from everyone except coach Jim Harbaugh, one area emerged without widespread critique — the offensive line. Shea Patterson was sacked just twice, and any pressure on him usually felt like a result of his standing in the pocket too long. ...…
…4B — October 7, 2019 The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com SportsMonday I don’t know about you all, but I’m exhausted. Saturday, a pretty-good- but-flawed Michigan team beat a pretty-good- but-flawed Iowa team, 10-3, in a game that clearly highlighted both team’s merits and shortcom- ings. The Wolverines were favored by 3.5 points — and that seems about right. Their defense shone, their offense sputtered. The for- mer outlast...…
