...similar to the one that the world witnessed last week. If the Pakistani government wants to be taken seriously as a partner in the war on terrorism, it must secure its borders and stop Islamic militants from instigating violence in the region. Moreover, given the sheer volume of military aid that the United States has given Pakistan in recent years, Washington should make it clear that Islamabad should use its considerable military assets to fight terrorism, not mobilize in defense of a potential Indian attack. As the world gets ready to welcome the Obama Administration, policymakers throughout the national security...
...process that the Indian authorities call "sanitizing" the floors - basically blasting them out to make sure there are no terrorists left. It's difficult to do in a hotel as large as the Taj.

Aid workers in Iriba told me that, as horrific as the suffering was, it was surely going to get worse. "The water is going. The firewood is gone. The land has lost its ability to regenerate," said Palouma Ponlibae, an agriculture and natural-resources officer for the relief agency care...
...Administrators fear that students of color will take the hardest hit. Many of these students tend to live in underserved communities, have limited knowledge about how and when to apply for financial aid, and tmake up their minds about college later in the school year. "Those are the students that America needs to reach out to, because they are going to be the workforce of the 21st century," says Reed. "And they will probably be the group that will be the most at risk" of getting squeezed out by an enrollment cap. (See TIME's special report on paying...
