Book Review: 'I See You Everywhere'

Consider the phenomenon of women's competitiveness with other women. It was a preoccupation of Goethe's, from his early play "Stella" to his novel "Elective Affinities," written not long after he married his longtime lover, Christiane Vulpius. In "Elective Affinities," the author explained why he believed women couldn't be true friends: "Every woman by her nature excludes every other woman; for every woman is required to do everything the whole sex is required to do." By his line of reasoning, each woman embodies a "right" way to live; and every woman, by her mere existence, threatens every other woman's conviction that her own way is the best way. These are fighting words, of course, and the displaced wife in Goethe's novel tartly asserts her right to take "malicious pleasure" in the observation that oftentimes "gentlemen, too, fail to g

Judge Reject's Woman's Request For A Jury Trial; Orders Her To Pay RIAA

Ignoring numerous other court rulings concerning whether or not "making available" is copyright infringement, a judge has rejected a woman's request for a jury trial in her file sharing lawsuit, and ordered her to pay the $7,400 fine already set. This was the case we had just discussed last week, where the woman claimed that the RIAA only had evidence that she had shared six songs, even though she admitted to making 37 songs available. There was already an agreement in place that the fine would be $200/song, so the real question was whether it should be $7,400 or $1,200. The woman argued that, in light of the Jammie Thomas mistrial and other rulings, the RIAA needed to show actual infringement, rather than just that the files were made available.

Woman Unable To Recognize Voices, Unless It's Sean Connery

A 60-year-old British woman is suffering from a neurological defect that is sure to put her in the next version of "The Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat." She is unable to recognize any voice she hears — any voice, that is, but Sean Connery's. Unless she sees the face of the person speaking, she has no idea who is talking to her, even her daughter and co-worker's voices are unrecognizable. Dr. Brad Duchaine at University College London, thinks she might have the first documented case of vocal prosopagnosia, a condition which makes it extremely difficult for people to recognize faces. "His accent is distinctive," Duchaine explained. "And she is a British woman in her sixties ... let's say it's probable he got her attention."

Controversial Pilsen art

A cropped version of Iranian-American photographer Amir Normandi's "True You" shows a nude woman holding a mirror and paint roller in front of her face. The eyes of a veiled woman appear in the mirror. Normandi specializes in provocative photos of women wearing hijabs to protest the forced veiling of Muslim women. Residents were offended when this photo was placed in the window of the Pilsen Together Chamber of Commerce at Ashland Avenue and 18th Street. Normandi objected when the chamber placed a covering over the woman's breasts and he removed his work from the gallery. The artist later agreed to return the photo for exhibit in a less visible area. He sparked outrage in 2005 at Harper College when some Muslim students objected to his photos.
