Ohio Historical Society’s Collections
Photos from the Columbus Jewish community are among those featured in the Ohio Historical Society’s diverse still and moving-image exhibit “Moments in Time: Images from the Ohio Historical Society’s Collections,” on display through Dec. 31. The exhibit explores the range of motivations behind capturing photographic images and describes photographic techniques developed over the years. The images span the 1840s to the present. “Since the beginning of photography, people have been using this medium to capture a moment in time,” said Glenn Peters, the society’s director of museums. “Our visitors will discover the various impulses behind collecting images and will see firsthand the importance of these vital records.” The Jewish images included among the more than 200 selected include a

Simpson’s writer makes them laugh at Ohio State Hillel By Reuben Bresler TH E N EW STAN DAR D
To some the TV show “The Simpsons” is an ingenious and hilarious commentary on everyday life. To others it is a horribly disturbing and altogether unfunny show about the worst family in America. Luckily, none of the people who agreed with the second group were at the Ohio State University Hillel March 3 when Michael Reiss, famous for writing and producing many episodes of the cartoon talked about his experiences.
PASSION
FROM PAGE 18 how many of his father’s beliefs he carried with him. If DeMille wants to make sure we never take the “Under God” out of the Pledge of Allegiance, and Scorsese wants to show that even holy men long to be whole men, what is it that Gibson wants to say with this graphic, nightmarish version of the last hours of Jesus: That Christ was treated badly, but you don’t know how badly, and it’s up to me to show you in as much detail as possible? For many Christians, the Resurrection is the most important part of the story, but Gibson treats it perfunctorily, as though he wants merely to leave the story wide open for a sequel. But since Christ wasn’t beaten, whipped, or crucified again, I doubt such a film would interest him. Perhaps the story of the Apostle Peter, who was crucified upside down, would be more Gibson’s cup of tea.

He showed rare video clips from the life of the beloved Springfield family and excerpts from other shows he has worked on, including “The Critic” and “Queer Duck.” He shared tidbits of timeless Simpsons Michael Reiss wisdom and short stories about his life. Reiss poked fun
at everything and everyone, including President George W. Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger. His remarks reflected the satiric nature of the show’s script, and the reason is why people all over the globe love “The Simpsons.” The show is about Homer and Marge Simpson and their children Bart, Lisa and Maggie, struggling with the familiar challenges of marital and family relations. The series, dubbed “the greatest TV show of the 20th century” by Time magazine, is an irreverant social commentary that pokes fun at Bart’s
under-achieving hijinks, Homer’s beerguzzling mindlessness and brainy Lisa’s struggles to tolerate her wisecracking brother and sometimes just-plain-stupid father. Reiss, who has worked with the show for 11 of its 14 years on the air, recently left for other projects, including writing children’s books. He tries to keep America laughing at itself.
