  • Van Dam, who has taught at Brown since the 1960s, said he has personally suffered from the lack of authentic Chinese food in Providence.


    “When I got recruited to Brown, I was taken to a Chinese restaurant, and it nearly convinced me not to go here,” he said.


    During the planning stages for the Center for Information Technology, van Dam had four requests: “large windows, atriums, a shower and a top-notch Chinese restaurant in the basement.”


  • “Andy van Dam called and said he knew Tom was interested in finding a space around campus,” Luipold said. “He asked me to talk to Tom about any opportunity we might have.”

Tehran dispatch: The regime shows us movies | Salon News

In Tehran, state television's Channel Two is putting on a "Lord of the Rings" marathon, part of a bigger push to keep us busy. Movie mad and immunized from international copyright laws, Iranians are normally treated to one or two Hollywood or European movie nights a week. Now it's two or three films a day. The message is "Don't Worry, Be Happy." Let's watch, forget about what's happened, never mind. Stop dwelling in the past. Look ahead.
