...options available to international students. After Citibank abruptly pulled out of previous custom loan arrangements with Harvard and several other universities in October, Harvard administrators were left scrambling for alternative ways to help students cover the cost of attendance while maintaining the University’s commitment to financial aid across the graduate schools. “Our overall objective is to ensure that a Harvard graduate education remains accessible to talented students regardless of where they live,” Harvard’s Chief Financial Officer Daniel S.

...Tijuana security services, officials welcome Obama for pledging to stand shoulder to shoulder against the drug gangs. Deputy Attorney General Salvador Ortiz says U.S. aid would be a valuable asset in fighting the gangs.

The U.S. is never going to offer Mexico the sort of benefits - the free movement of labor, aid with infrastructure development and a common external trade policy - that E.U. member states enjoy. And Mexico, with an always prickly sense of its sovereignty, would never submit to the supranational supervision of its policies to which E.U. nations agree...
