Cuban band that performs bembe,
rumba, comparsa and son—the root
of salsa and mambo.
The Elisa Monte Dance Company
brings its new work, “Feu Follet,” to

culture of the Acadians of the Louisi

separation, persecution and loss.

FLYNT from page 16
have been for Flynt.
But as Larry and Althea Flynt work
their way through the near-insanity
they created and invited through Hus
tler magazine, it is their friend and
lawyer, Alan Isaacman (played by
Edward Norton), who maintains at
least a little rationality and tolerance.
And, in the end, Isaacman becomes
the most sympathetic character the
film has to offer. He repeatedly works
to rescue Flynt — and subsequently
all Americans—from censorship ant
persecution, only to see any dignity h<
has built for himself and his clien
shattered by Flynt’s public and court
room antics.
“The People vs. Larry Flynt” is a
well-acted, well-written and carefully
orchestrated attempt to humanize a
man who very easily could have be
come little more than a symbol for
both the sex industry and freedom of

Seasoned editor extends
new-and-improved section
STATE from page 16
position last year, and to be per
fectly honest I didn’t do a lot to
change that when I had the chance.
But now I’m back to fulfill the
promise I know this section has
within its scarred and misshapen
belly.
And you should care, because
if this section does work to its full
potential, it can be just as exciting
and mind-blowing as a full-color
photo of Tom Osborne in tan
slacks, an in-depth story about Ben
Nelson’s hair or a Steve Willey col
umn about an unsavory bodily
function.
This section will feature fewer
and fewer reviews, because who
really cares what we think about the
new weira ai ramcovic aioum'
This section will feature more sto
ries about people who live in Lin
coln and, miraculously-enough,
who are doing something creative
in their spare time." And this sec
tion will feature more national in
terest stories, because the world
doesn’t end at the edge of campus,
or even at the city limits.
And if I can hear just one per
son say “Boy, the A&E section
didn’t suck too bad today,” I’ll fi
nally be able to retire a happy edi
tor. And I won’t come back—this
time, I promise.
