DEAR READERS From the desk of the editor Dear Readers, The semester is almost at a close and the UNC professors seem determined to squeeze as much into these last few weeks as possible. Papers, projects, exams, presentations, all piling up on each other. Yet even amongst this busyness our writers found time to churn out a few articles based on current events, here in Chapel Hill and in America at large. In this issue you’ll read everything from new staff writer Samuel Mao’s take on the recent Hollywood scandals to Jesse Oliver’s defense of capitalism. It’s the end of the year, and some of us needed to blow of some steam, so a few writers opted to try their hands at satire. Such articles have been noted as such. I wouldn’t want you thinking the Review was having an identity crisis. Lux et Libertas, Alec M.
