This Week in Entertainment
Star Trek Into Darkness
The critically acclaimed follow-up to the 2009 reboot of the classic sci-fi franchise follows the continued adventures of the USS Enterprise a year after the previous installment. The entire main cast, including Chris Pine (Unstoppable) and Zachary Quinto (Heroes), returns to take a journey to the Klingon homeworld in order to search for a former Starfleet member-turned-criminal, Khan. In this sequel tensions arise between Spock and Kirk as Khan challenges their perceptions of their roles in Starfleet. Bonus features include exclusive behind-the-scenes documentaries.
Love in the Future
John Legend
After several delays, the Grammy Award-winning R&B soul-man finally releases his fourth collection of smooth love songs, inspirational ballads and gospel-influenced tunes. As the title suggests, the album has a more futuristic sound than Legend's previous work, but also features guest appearances from R&B newcomer Stacy Barthe and Mafioso rap titan Rick Ross, production from industry heavyweights such as Q-Tip and Pharrell Williams, as well as his current single, "Made to Love."
FUSE
Keith Urban
It has been nearly three years since Urban's last stu- dio album, and his seventh effort contains 13 all-new tracks, including collaborations with fellow country stars Miranda Lambert and Eric Church, as well as a new, more modern sound made by fusing elements of different instruments Urban heard throughout his in- ternational travels. Featuring "Little Bit of Everything," which already has charted in the top 10 of the U.S. Country Singles Chart, the Australian serves up yet an- other sure-to-be hit to perfectly accompany the final dog days of summer.
Riddick
Although the prior two films in the The Chronicles of Riddick series were tepidly received, Vin Diesel (Fast & Furious) returns to the cult franchise nearly 10 years after the most recent installment for more action-packed, sci-fi adventures. The new film follows the title character as he attempts to save his home planet from destruction while fighting off galactic bounty hunters and fighting for his own survival. R. 103 minutes. Also available in IMAX.

This moment may be unprecedented — Rice falling short is not
In many ways, the current landscape of American higher education is unprecedented. Sweeping cuts to federal research funding, overt government efforts to control academic departments and censor campus protests and arbitrary arrests and visa revocations have rightly been criticized as ushering in the latest iteration of fascism.
