It started with a dress.


In what had been one of the hottest summers Italians had experienced in a while, this cooler night was welcomed by Nicholas Lindsey. As he walked outside, in the heart of Perugia, Lindsey heard the familiar sound of Gnarls Barkley's song "Crazy," one of his favorites. The music led him to an open-air fashion show and it was there that he saw it.


"It was love at first sight," Lindsey said.

Letter to the Editor: Pastor’s comments don’t evoke true meaning of Golden Rule

Published Mar 27, 2008

I was at Brite Divinity School on Good Friday.


TCU was vacant, but some of the Brite faculty were in their offices. I'm guessing they, like me, were there because of concerns about Brite's plans to honor the patently offensive Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

I am writing this letter in response to the comments the chancellor made about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright that were published in the Dallas Morning News and picked up by other news media.


Specifically, Chancellor Victor Boschini commented that: "Giving an award [to Wright] is another matter, and in this specific case in light of Rev. Wright's recently discovered remarks, TCU would not give such an award." Additionally, recently the Board of Trustees voted to prohibit Brite Divinity's award ceremony honoring Wright from occurring on campus because of safety concerns.
