Corrections and clarifications
A story on B1 Tuesday should have said the World Learner School is for students in first through eighth grades. The article also should have said that the school could have used fundraising to build a gymnasium. A story in Wednesday's North and East Extra sections should have said the North Suburban Rugby Club won six consecutive state tournament titles starting in 2000, when the club was formed. The Web address for tickets to the Twin Cities Food & Wine Experience is incorrectly noted on Page T6 in today's preprinted Taste section. The correct address is www.foodwineshow.com. .
Malcolm McDowell Breaks His Silence on Caligula, Bob Guccione and More ...
NEW YORK, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly 30 years after the release of Caligula, acclaimed actor Malcolm McDowell discusses the outrage he felt over the movie's editing and script changes -- as well as his distaste for the film's producer, former Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione -- in an exclusive interview in the November/December issue of The Girls of Penthouse magazine, on sale at newsstands now. McDowell's interview is as shocking and compelling as the film that inspired it. "I'm proud of the work I did in Caligula," McDowell told the magazine's Managing Editor, Eric Danville. "There's no question about that. But there's all the raunchy stuff-the blatant, modern-day porn that Bob introduced into the film after we'd finished shooting. That to me was an absolutely outrageous betrayal and quite unprecedented.
Hate Crime at a Quaker Campus?
This kind of violence is rare at a Quaker college," said Aaron Fetrow, dean of student life, in a Webcast by the newspaper. “We will not tolerate this violence or the verbal abuse." Court documents examined by the newspaper reported complaints that three students were attacked at Bryan Hall, a dormitory, and that the attackers used their fists, feet, and brass knuckles, and hurled racial slurs. The attack involved “at least 15 members of the football team," according to the police report. Three members of the football team were arrested and later released on $2,000 bond. They could not be reached and there were no reports on their version of the incident. Awartani said that he and the other two students were beaten by assailants who hurled racial epithets and called them “dirty terrorists." Awartani is a student at North Carolina State University and said that he and his two friends, who are students at Guilford, had attended a Quaker school in the West Bank before coming to the United States.
