There are too many reasonable exceptions to Harvard’s blanket policies to list them all. Algeria may be an acutely dangerous country for Americans who look and sound a specific way, but for a Harvard student from Morocco, or with family from Morocco, for instance, the equation is completely different. Within countries like Israel, there are dangerous places and there are places where life is almost completely normal.

...made showed the extent of discord inside OPEC. Most cartel decisions have been by consensus, with the member nations at least presenting the appearance of a united front. No such accord could be reached last week. Instead, OPEC was forced to abide by majority rule, with Libya, Iran and Algeria going on record as opposed to the price cut. Nonetheless OPEC tried to look happy with what it had done. Was Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani pleased? "Yes, I am," he said. But he was uncharacteristically quiet, and he canceled his customary postsession news conference...
