...Rudy Giuliani's dismissal of Paul a "historic slam dunk" and said he "reduced Paul to history." Neither Giuliani nor Klein seems capable of debating Paul's assertion on its merit. Could this be because Paul's argument is too strong, too logical? Paul's assertion that our actions abroad reap consequences at home is the real slam dunk (in the pre-George Tenet sense of the term). Paul has not become history, but rather his view is grounded in history. I hope that other candidates will respond to his point. That could lead to a meaningful exchange...
...championship. This year started off with the same goal in mind. And then came the roadblocks. Junior foil fencer Emily Cross—the two-time Junior World Champion—left to train for the Olympics, never again to fence wearing Crimson. Junior Carolyn Wright decided to go abroad. A battle with leukemia sidelined men’s co-captain foilist Sam Cross. Down two foilists and a saber fencer, Harvard set out to defend its title while taking on tougher competition. In the Ivy League, Penn was better, and so was Columbia. Nationally, the competition was as stiff...
Despite those criticisms and Russia's objections, however, Bush is in a good position to advance his missile defense agenda. At home, there is no real opposition to missile defense - mainstream Democrats since Bill Clinton's presidency have shied away from dissenting over missile defense.

Czech President Vaclav Klaus today said he supported Bush's program, despite 60% disapproval among Czechs. All of which means that even threats to target European countries are unlikely to shake the U.S.'s will to deploy...
When I was doing a study abroad program at Beijing University—China’s “Harvard”——people were crammed six to a single room, there were bathhouses instead of private showers, and lights had to be out by a certain time. There was no centralized course catalogue (a CUE Guide? Forget about it! My.harvard.edu? Are you kidding?). There was no financial aid system (or book fund, or winter clothing fund, or Student Events Fund) to somewhat try to efface felt class differences. There was no grants system...
...show received widespread media attention, including an article on TIME.com this week. Just before the show aired, Prime Minister Jan-Peter Balkenende remarked in his weekly press conference that the program hurts the image of the country abroad. Referring to the dozens of foreign media covering the show, he asked "if the country should be happy with this sort of publicity." A few days ago, some legislators had urged media minister Ronald Plasterk to stop the show. While calling the show "inappropriate and unethical," Plasterk said the constitution barred him from interfering with the content of public broadcasting...
