November Writing Project Award OSCARS for Academic Achievement Dear Habermas Award

Oscars for Achievement in the Academy

The OSCARS emerged as an integral part of our Reports of Learning. Sorry, there's no way I could have known. At any rate, now I'm off to make a final adjustment in grades. If I've made a mistake, just e-mail, and we'll right it. Thank you for your patience. Finally, this semester, doing non-structurally violent things seems to have worked out well right in the midst of a structurally violent corporate university environment. What a nice gift for us all. love and peace, jeanne. December 16, 2001.

(Lynsey Addario/Saba, for The New York Times)
A Tale of the Mullah and Muhammad's Amazing Cloak

  • Art and the Imaginary:
    • Beyond the Veil A Photographers Journal, by Ruth Fremson. Ruth Fremson's photographs in Afghanistan and Pakistan are accompanied by her account of her visit and the experience of meeting these people. The New York Times. Special: A Nation Challenged. You'll need to scroll down to find the Beyond the Veil link, a boxed in link in blue with a picture of a mother and child. Link added: December 19, 2001.

  • Art and Healing:
    • A Tale of the Mullah and Muhammad's Amazing Cloak By Norimitsu Onishi. December 19, 2001. The New York Times. Special: A Nation Challenged. The origin of belief in the healing powers of the cloak:
      "According to legend, Ahmad Shah Durrani, who founded Afghanistan a quarter of a millennium ago, brought the cloak to Kandahar from a great conquest. As many Pashtun clans vied to become keeper of the cloak, the king asked representatives from each clan to stand before the box containing the cloak and cry, "Allah-u-akbar!" — "God is great!"

      "When my forefather cried, `Allah-u-akbar,' the lock opened by itself," Mr. Shawali said. "So the king chose our family to be the keepers of the Prophet's cloak."
      Accessed from the NYT site on December 19, 2001.

  • Art You Should Know
    • A Tale of the Mullah and Muhammad's Amazing Cloak By Norimitsu Onishi. Illustration above. December 19, 2001. The New York Times. Special: A Nation Challenged.

      Religious art provides us with tremendous historical insight into our faith of an ultimate truth, an ultimate forgiveness, an ultimate healing. To that end it behooves us to know of the many sites such as this that hold such religious significance for a people.
