Paul Hanley February 8, 2008
World-renowned scholar. Published author. Experienced teacher. These are just a few of the titles attributable to English professor Thomas Shippey, Ph. D. Shippey spent the first several years of his life in India where his father worked as a bridge-builder, until he was sent back to his parents' native Great Britain to attend boarding school in Scotland.

Foreign Affairs

Paul Hanley November 30, 2007
As I'm writing my last column of the semester and realizing I have only two short weeks left in Italy, I must admit I'm at a loss for what specifically to say. I guess I could describe some of the dozens of European cities I have visited-how I compared the cobblestone Medieval paths of San Gimingnano in the Tuscan hills to the well-paved and Ferrari-trafficked roads of larger-than-life Monte Carlo, or mentally juxtaposed the quiet electric hum of a street tram cutting through a frosty night in Heidelberg with the growl of cheap cars barking in the humid air of Nice.

Foreign Affairs

Paul Hanley October 26, 2007
About a month ago, I was sitting by myself in a public park across from my Florence hotel in the crisp early fall evening, just people-watching and thinking. Living abroad in a country where your understanding of the language is only beginner level on a good day automatically lends itself to introspection, especially when spending the weekend traveling alone in a foreign city with no company but your own thoughts.

Rome-where to begin? That was the question I found myself pondering in the weeks approaching my late August departure for Italy's capital city. After arriving jetlagged and missing a bag at Loyola University's Rome center in the quiet neighborhood of Monte Mario, I thought I might never answer that question.

Foreign Affairs

My fingernails were white from clutching the handle to keep from falling onto my fellow backseat passengers as Anja, my host family's daughter, vigorously shifted into fourth gear and swerved onto the civilian drag strip that is the Autobahn. I was already a little out of sorts because it was the Fourth of July and, instead of parades, barbeque and 90 degree heat, I had enjoyed a day of rain, 60 degree temperatures and the reality that James, another American student living with my host family, and I were speeding down the Autobahn at 160 kilometers per hour listening to Jay-Z with 26-year-old Anja, her German friend Sabine and their 6'2" Czech friend Martina.

Death Cab pulses at Pageant

Paul Hanley April 6, 2006
"I'm not into the whole crowded thing," chided a 40-something-year- old woman when asked to spare a little room for my friend and the hundreds of other anticipatory Death Cab for Cutie fans, as we basked in the packed Pageant Theater on Tuesday night in the Loop.

Russian horror picture show

Paul Hanley March 9, 2006
Night Watch, unlike its plagiarized Rembrandt title suggests, is an overrated Russian horror film, now playing at the Tivoli Theater, that is best kept in the dark and not watched at any time of the day, or night. Shockingly the biggest blockbuster in the history of Russian cinema, Night Watch is "the first part in an epic horror trilogy," based on a series of novels by writer Sergei Lukyanenko.
