...Reserve Officers Training Program (ROTC) was booted off campus due to student protests over the Vietnam War—which included a violent takeover of University Hall and arson of a campus ROTC building. While we’ve moved away from the era of radical anti-American student activism (for the most part), the policy results achieved by that activism still stand at Harvard.

Strip mining is efficient, but scars the land and bauxite processing releases a toxic red sludge that can seep into water supplies if not adequately contained...
...contrast to the summit in Mar del Plata, Chávez isn't expected to hold the regional reins in Port of Spain or breathe the same anti-U.S. fire. More moderate leftists like Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva are regarded as Latin America's standard bearers today. Even if the global economic crisis has borne out Chávez's condemnation of capitalism, it has also sent oil prices plummeting - and his populist largesse along with them.
