Event Description:
The Cold War is over, you may have noticed, yet Dr. Strangelove is still right on target: a ferocious comedy about the end of the world and the onset of nuclear winter. Few remember how many negative reviews the film received when it first came out (like most Kubrick films) and today it may be revered -- but its lessons go unobserved by most filmmakers. This film will be part of the Nuclear Show in the Media Center Gallery.

The past year has seen many tragic milestones in the war on Iraq. Despite the President's assertion that major combat ended last year, military operations have continued, and resulted in the destruction of the city of Falluja, 2,038 American deaths, 200,000 Iraqi deaths, 199 coalition deaths, and 15,353 American soldiers wounded. But this year has also been a year of victories for our movement (figures as of 11/04/05).
