...question of how to lower the cost of labor speaks to major differences between the two partners in the coalition. Laurenz Meyer, a former secretary-general of the cdu and current economics expert in the Bundestag, says that since last year's elections, the spd has been looking "to align [itself] with the unions" even more strongly than before. It's not been a winning strategy. According to the latest Forsa poll, backing for the party is down to 28%, from 39% six months ago (Merkel's cdu stands at 38%). The spd is also suffering fallout from the tarnished...
...Strangely enough, the campaign may come down to which pro-war politician Shays can align himself with in the eyes of the voters.

An old orange couch sits in the corner. It looks suspiciously as if it’s also served as a bed.Marshall himself, a polymath with sensibilities far from the commercial mainstream, recalls a dying Square culture shaped...
...curse Harvard’s silliness in calling majors “concentrations” and having its exams after the holidays instead of before. A lot of folks on campus have fully bought into this theory. For years I’ve heard a call for Harvard to align itself with the majority of the country and hold exams before Christmas, allowing for a longer winter break and causing the removal, shortening, or at least restructuring of Reading Period and Intersession. I come before you today as a dissenting opinion, someone who thinks we are all too quick...
