Potential material for the spring...

I'm putting together a list of potential material for the spring...some a direct connection to Iraq, some tangential. Here's what I've got so far (brainstorming...not guaranteed):

• Three Kings
• Othello, playing at Philadelphia's Lantern Theater
• Article from Vanity Fair on the development of horror films like Halloween etc.
• The Philadelphia Inquirer's series, Blackhawk Down
  
• "Bartleby the Scrivener," by Herman Melville
  

Suggestions?
