It's hay fever season, and in a courtroom a judge is popping antihistamines. He listens to the testimony of a Jewish chiropractor, who's a liar, according to his anti-semitic defense attorney. The prosecutor, a homosexual, is having a domestic squabble with his lover, And all the while, a Middle East peace conference is taking place. Masterfully wielding the argot of the courtroom, David Mamet creates a world in microcosm in which shameless fawning, petty prejudices and sheer caprice hold sway, and the noble apparatus of law and order degenerates into riotous profanity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: MuCCC website, 2013-Feb-18]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight at the <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong> starting around 8:30 p.m. is the <strong>Album Release Show<\/strong> for <strong>The Years<\/strong> with loud punk\/punk-rock from <strong>The Bad Kids<\/strong>, and <strong>Nod<\/strong>. <em>[source: Bug Jar calendar, 2013-Feb-18]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight at 9 p.m. in <strong>Hoyt Auditorium<\/strong> on the <strong>UofR<\/strong> campus is a screening of <strong>Forrest Gump<\/strong> (Robert Zemeckis, 1994, U.S., 142 min.)
