The first lady had intended to celebrate the works of such legendary writers as Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, but many of those requested to appear refused as a demonstration against the War in Iraq. Bush responded by canceling the event, saying, "It would be inappropriate to turn a literary event into a political forum." Huh?

Tonight Williams will perform selections from a wide range of material including that off of 2003 's World Without Tears. See a legend in the making at Kingsbury Hall.

That is exactly why Eve Ensler created "The Vagina Monologues," a celebration of women and a challenge against outdated norms. Although the production has achieved wild success since its inception, critics are still trying to stop what they deem "inappropriate." In Beijing, for example, an art gallery was stopped when it attempted to put on a version of "Monologues." While censorship is a bit more difficult to enact in our own country, there is still significant opposition to the event. All of this begs the question: Have we really come a long way, baby?

As the shot widens, the climbers go from prominent figures to tiny, then invisible specks lost in a monstrous expanse of nature. These shots hammer in the harrowing helplessness of the experience portrayed in the film, which is so rich in that if it weren't for the interviews explaining things, the film would be a dramatic work instead of a documentary. Director Kevin Macdonald uses his interviews and a range of standard and experimental visual techniques to communicate the fear and loneliness of being trapped in the cold Peruvian Andes.
