and the City 4
by Douglas Choi, Staff Columnist

it was. There was no wind, no clouds; just taxi cabs rushing
around stirring up the dirt in the midsummer's night. [more]

Building
Bridges
by Edmond Fu and Cindy Wang, Special Contributors
In first grade,
I distinctly remember being taunted by my classmates about my
Asian appearance. They jeered, "Your eyes look funny, they're
slanted upwards."
