...terrible at discussing our racial problems in America today because we just end up defending our identities and the political power we hope those identities will align us with. On that day in Manhattan, I caught the first cab that came along. And I should have been happy just for the convenience of good service. That I also saw this minor event as evidence of something, that I was practicing a kind of political sociology as well as catching a cab--that is the problem...
WebMD's strategy might ultimately force a consolidation within the industry. Most e-scription start-ups, once flush with venture capital, are on the block, looking to be acquired or to align with bigger fish that can offer womb-to-tomb IT solutions. IBM's new venture will probably be a buyer, and Allscripts already has a deal with IDX, whose own back-office, practice-management system is used by more than 100,00 doctors.

Given these difficulties, the College ought to step back from its rhetoric and take tangible steps to align its policies with its stated commitment to making study abroad accessible to all students.

Cyberspace and digital technology have some of the same glamour and promise, but the romance of technology has long since wilted. After two world wars and Three Mile Island, who can take seriously the militant modernity of the Italian Futurists...
...both sides of the Atlantic, the politicians, shuddering at the alternative, are laboring to make the creaky alliance align. A procession of European foreign ministers have visited Washington and have gone out of their way to make nice with Bush in public. Last week, Blair was the first European head of government to make the trip, staying overnight at Camp David for informal talks, eager to cement Britain's special role as stalwart friend of Washington (already proved in the bombing raid against Iraq) and as bridge between the U.S. and Europe. On the most neuralgic transatlantic dispute, missile defense...
