...Even before agreement is reached with Russia and China, the U.S., Britain and France will seek support from the remaining ten members of the Council - Argentina, Tanzania, Congo, Ghana, Denmark, Greece, Japan, Peru, Qatar and Slovakia. But absent any smoking-gun evidence of Iran maintaining a weapons program, and considering Washington's credibility problem after the Iraq WMD fiasco, the U.S. and its allies may struggle to maintain the momentum of efforts to turn up the heat on Tehran. Indeed, their best hope may lie in Iran rattling its own sabers so much that it actually alienates the two powers...
Prof. Ulrich, let me tell you something about my peers: we are in no danger of becoming fact-spewing automatons able only to dish out the who, when, and where of historical occurrences. We are rarely incapable of forming an opinion, even absent those aforementioned facts. Attend a random undergraduate section, and you’ll see what I mean...
...engaged? What do you think of the new engagement/marriage craze that is taking over our school? Are you engaged?

And if the review is delayed this long, it will surely lose its newfound momentum, much to the detriment of undergraduates. If Harvard College is truly the progressive institution...
...year. West, whom my classmate and friend Leon Wieseltier aptly described in The New Republic as “self-endeared,” had found time to make a rap CD that his own website touted as a seminal event in musical history. But he was frequently absent from Cambridge, and had published very little scholarly work. Many thought Summers’ request that West stay at home for a bit and write to be the height of impertinence. At the time it seemed to me that this was just telling the emperor to go buy some clothes...
